Emmanuel Sanders is one of the top wide receivers on the market, but he has already made up his mind for where he wants to play next year, the San Francisco 49ers.
During a Facebook live on Thursday, Sanders said he would like to run it back with the Niners, but he knows anything could happen.
“Hopefully we can run it back, but we'll see,” Emmanuel Sanders said, via the Bay Area News Group.
The 49ers brought in Sanders midseason after a trade with the Denver Broncos. His stats were okay with the Broncos, but during the postseason he could have been more productive. Emmanuel Sanders had only five catches for 71 yards in the three games.
Sanders said he is not trying to push free agency and is trying to be patient to make sure the right things come along and he gets what he wants.
“The hardest thing about free agency is sometimes you want it right away but you have to wait and see, see what happens,” Emmanuel Sanders said. “I'm trying not to rush the process, because I know what I want out of a team and I know what my goals are. I'm trying to find the best fit.”
Even though there was a drop in production during the playoffs, he was still a great influence in the locker room and gave Jimmy Garoppolo a key target.
Jane Slater of the NFL Network reported that the Dallas Cowboys also had an interest in Sanders. Emmanuel Sanders still has some good years ahead of him, so no matter where he goes, he should be a key addition to the offense.
