The rebuilding phase has officially begun for the Broncos. On Tuesday, the team made a move that signaled they were transitioning from “win now” mode to thinking about the future.

And another trade:

Denver is dealing WR Emmanuel Sanders and a 2020 5th-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for 2020 3rd- and 4th-round picks, per league sources.

First Mohamed Sanu, now Sanders….

Denver wanted to hold on to Emmanuel Sanders for another week and have him play Sunday against Indianapolis. But San Francisco wanted Sanders to play Sunday against Carolina – and now he will.

Sanders is in the final year of his contract, meaning he’ll be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He’ll turn 33 in March and is coming off of an Achilles injury that ended his 2018 season, so there have long been questions about the Broncos desire to have him on the roster in 2020 and beyond.
