While Von Miller negotiations are on hold, the Denver Broncos have apparently become a busy bunch, handing out a contract extension to Brandon Marshall on Tuesday before turning towards Emmanuel Sanders today.
According to Mile High Sports Radio’s Eric Goodman, Sanders is looking to get paid like a top-10 wide receiver.

If Sanders were to get exactly what he wants — a four-year, $48 million deal with $24 million guaranteed — he’d become the seventh highest paid receiver on average, right behind T.Y. Hilton ($13 million/year) and Demaryius Thomas ($14 million/year).
