The Denver Broncos apparently like what they’ve seen from Emmanuel Sanders in his first two seasons with the team.

On Wednesday afternoon, Elway announced the team had come to an agreement on a three-year $33 million dollar extension to keep wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in Orange & Blue.
ENGLEWOOD-There may be questions about their quarterback, but the Denver Broncos have no doubts about their receiver duo.
Sanders was mainly the No. 3 receiver in his first four seasons with the Steelers, and pounced at the opportunity to move up when he signed with the Broncos in 2014. Still, his career has taken off since joining Denver.
Sanders caught 76 passes for 1,135 yards and six touchdowns last season and led all players in Super Bowl 50 with six receptions for 83 yards. He already ranks in the franchise’s top 10 in postseason receptions and receiving yards, despite only playing in four playoff games as a Bronco to this point.
Sanders has shown steady improvement throughout his career, which is what every team wants to see.
Over the past two years, Sanders has done more than enough to earn the rise.

Sanders’ agents and the Broncos had engaged in talks throughout the offseason, with Sanders’ camp hopeful an accord would be reached before Thursday to avoid distraction during the season.
