Emmanuel Sanders almost signed a deal with the Patriots this offseason
“Emmanuel loved it there,” current agent Steve Weinberg told CSN New England’s Tom Curran on Friday. “He said, ‘Give me Danny Amendola‘s deal and I’m there.'”
Amendola signed for $28.5 million over five years, with $10 million in guarantees. Sanders ended up in Denver for $18 million over three years, with just $6 million in guarantees.
“New England was competitive throughout the process,” Weinberg added. “Had they been aggressive from the beginning it would have gotten done, but, in this market, nobody knew what to do with the wide receivers.”
