Sitting at the bottom of the AFC West after suffering a demoralizing loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, in which quarterback Joe Flacco got sacked nine times, the Denver Broncos are receiving calls for wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
Teams are reportedly interested in the 32-year-old receiver who has been one of the Broncos' best pass-catching weapons all season, but with the losses continuing to accumulate, dealing Sanders might be the Broncos' best option.

Sanders has caught 30 balls for 367 yards and two touchdowns, all in a system that has struggled to put up points on the offensive end. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 49ers, Panthers, Patriots, and Eagles are all reportedly interested in picking Sanders up.
The 49ers could be an interesting destination for Sanders, as they already look like a complete team but help at the receiver position wouldn't hurt. The Niners are missing a dominate receiving threat and while Sanders might not be considered a number one receiver, adding him to an already impressive young receiving core could add veteran leadership as well as a slot threat.
Sanders should want out of Denver as the team seems to be geared more towards Courtland Sutton being their primary receiver in addition to having trouble getting the ball from Flacco.
Adding Sanders to any one of the interested teams could prove to be a major move towards the playoff picture.
