 |
|
|
| Quote: | | The Patriots just submitted an offer sheet on Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders. some actual restricted free agent movement. Wow |

He was signed to a 1-year deal.
The Patriots will need to pay the Steelers a 3rd round pick if the Steelers chose not to match the offer sheet.
***Update***
The Steelers have $2,069,760 in available cap space as of April 4 and the team has 5 days to match the offer the Patriots made to Sanders.
***Update***
| Quote: | | And PITT has until Monday to match the offer sheet or take NE's 3rd-rd pick. Again, money won't be determining factor. Money will be modest. |

| Quote: | | The pick in play relating to Emmanuel Sanders is #91. The Patriots would be left with 4 picks (29, 59, 226, 235) if offer not matched. |

***Update***
| Quote: | | Early rumbling is that #Patriots offer sheet is $4 million for one year #steelers |
http://twitter.com/Steelersdepot/statuses/321998828523892737
***Update***
| Quote: | | Expect Steelers to match Patriots offer sheet and retain WR Emmanual Sanders. He's vital after loss of Mike Wallace and offer easy to match |
http://twitter.com/Edwerderespn/statuses/322006954069352449
| Quote: | | What could prevent Steelers from matching Pats on Emmanual Sanders? Only 3 teams have less cap space. Pick No. 91 may tempt GM Kevin Colbert |
http://twitter.com/Edwerderespn/statuses/322009542579859456
***Update***
| Quote: | | Emmanuel Sanders deal is 1 year, $2.5 mill. Many believe its a clever ploy by NE, which likely has long-term deal worked out already. |

***Update***
| Quote: | | Pitt has matched the RFA offer sheet on Emmanuel Sanders. First RFA to get offer in 3 years |

It sucks that I will have to hate him now. I doubt the Steelers match the offer with their current cap situation.

Pats are going after the small quick type.

Sanders doesn't exactly fit my definition of small however. Standing six feet tall, and 200 pounds of sheer muscle? The dude is quick yeah, but he's also got some pretty decent vertical speed by NFL wide receiver standards IMO. |

I don't blame Sanders for signing the offer sheet from the Patriots even if it's not for a lot more money. Because it forces the Steelers to match and give him more money (If they want to keep him)...

He is listed as 5'11 180...

Kind of odd that it's only a 1 year deal. Unless there is a wink wink deal with the agent for an extension...
