"While shopping the Chiefs' offer to the Bucs, Weinberg never explained that he had already accepted the terms of Kansas City's offer. Later in the night, Sanders' agent had agreed to terms with the Broncos, which is where he is currently headed. Sanders and Weinberg also rankled the 49ers by agreeing to visit, then blowing it off.
"This was one of the worst situations in modern football negotiations," one executive involved said. "Totally wrong. This needs to be stopped."
Weinberg sounds like a greasy pig....I seriously doubt the executive is lying about an oral deal in place. The agent just used it to extort more cash from another team....that's bad mo-jo. [Reply]
Oh I don't doubt that the Titans will be a good team. They should win their division this year but the #3 roster in all of the NFL behind the Falcons and Patriots. [Reply]
Oh so you think the Raiders will be the class. They should try beating the Chiefs first. Everyone says the AFC West in a tough division. But the Chiefs went 6-0 in the division last year!! [Reply]

And we now have our QBOTF, yet the Raiders are 100% going to pass us up [Reply]
The agent for new Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders has been criticized since a NFL.com report Saturday said his client had agreed to a deal with the Chiefs and then shopped the offer around. But the agent, Steve Weinberg, said Tuesday that Sanders left the Chiefs’ facility Saturday without an agreement. [Reply]

So we're going to take the agents word for it and ignore the other reports?

Come on Dane.
It's common NFL knowledge that an oral agreement (your word) is a done deal...the agent was a weasel. They only reason Dorsey got "played" was Weinberg did something that rarely or ever happens.
That's a quick way to yourself blacklisted... [Reply]
