Do you think he has the potential to be a number 1 WR?
Not unless he's got a lot more than he's shown to this point in his career

seems like just 3 years ago miles austin was 4th or 5th on the cowboys depth chart before an injury let him play and he became the cowboys top reciever.
Sanders has been sitting behind antonio brown(just got a $40 million dollar deal a year ago) and mike wallace(just got 11+ a year from the phins) not to mention Bens binky heath miller.
Sanders has been stuck behind talent, and this is his chance to come to a team that can play to his strengths a bit, and doesn't currently have any starters blocking him from playing.
Who's going to pay a 3rd round pick [highlight]plus[/highlight] the franchise value for a guy who's been WR3 on his team and who'll now likely be option number 4 or 5 on the Patriots?
Who would trade a 2nd for Matt Cassel and then pay him 40 million?
Option 4 or 5??? BWAHHHH. Hilarious. Who do you think are the #1 and 2 options today? Sanders replaces Lloyd.

To turn this around, I guess this is what puzzles me about how the Patriots approached this--why would someone pay 4 million per 1 year, only to see them become a UFA next year, and surrender a 3rd round pick for the right to do this? Particularly in a year when the Pats have so few picks?
It seems clear to me that the Pats aren't 100% sold on Sanders, or else they'd set the contract duration longer. That's a fine strategy for UFAs, but again we're talking about an RFA who requires a relatively high draft pick compensation.
I guess that's the crux of it for me, why sign an RFA with the associated draft pick cost, if you're not really sold on the guy? If you're looking for a one-year rental, there should be other vets out there who are UFAs who can fit the bill and provide comparable production. Maybe it's just Sanders is younger and the Pats think he is about to break out...but again if they believe that, why only the one year offer?
The Pats FO is arguably the best in the league and 99 times out of 100 they nail it, so who am I to argue....But this offer (plus the Welker thing before this) has me scratching my head a bit.
Just my $.02

Gronk, hernandz and amendoka would be brady's top options
Thats because youre a McCourty and Arrington lover.
Ok, Dakota from Braintree loves the idea of adding Sanders to the Pats. I have now changed my opinion and decided that 100% do not want Sanders on this team. If Dakota from Braintree thinks he is a good pick up, he will be an absolute bust.
Sweet, only a year deal? 3rd round pick? Sounds really strange....
They are also getting close to 5 mill. back on June 1st for the O lineman they cut ( Willie Colon). That will more than pay their rookie class.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1m
The offer sheet that Steelers RFA Emmanuel Sanders signed is worth $2.5 million. Steelers choice: match or get NE's third-round pick by Sun.

Only 3.5m will come off the books for Colon in June.
