Packers lead list of teams that should trade for Emmanuel Sanders

The Green Bay Packers lead the list of teams that should do what it takes to trade for Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

The Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to a free agent contract in the 2014 offseason when they had the MVP Peyton Manning and Super Bowl aspirations.

Two years later, they won the Super Bowl.

Four years after that Super Bowl win, the Broncos appear poised to trade Sanders to the highest bidder as he is in the final year of his contract with the team, the Broncos are 2-5 and have one of the worst offenses in the NFL, and Sanders has grown frustrated with his role (lack of targets).

Although the Broncos are more willing to listen on offers for Sanders now than they would have been had they beaten the Chiefs this past week, their willingness to trade him doesn’t mean he’s being given away.

Last year, the Broncos were able to recoup a fourth-round pick for Demaryius Thomas, who had two games with over 100 yards receiving in his previous 27 for the team.

Sanders has four such games (over 100 yards receiving) in his last 19 and eight total touchdowns in that time (6 receiving, one rushing, one passing).

Although he was injured last season, Sanders has worked his way back to full speed and appears poised to play a major role on a playoff contender. Which teams could he help the most?

The Broncos’ asking price is a third-round pick, so let the bidding begin.
