Twitter reacts to Emmanuel Sanders trade

The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders a fifth-round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a third-round pick and a fourth-round selection.

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the news:

Not a surprise. The @49ers get an excellent WR who now has a good chance to play in the Super Bowl.

Emmanuel Sanders & a 5th traded to the 49ers for a 3rd and 4th round pick makes sense for both teams, and is nice to see @ESanders_10 go to a contender

Dominoes fall pretty fast. This is as good a deal as the Broncos could hope to get. https://t.co/vUPYCbuR8G

Emmanuel Sanders is currently 3rd in the league in terms of most catchable targets his way – without a single drop.

Getting a 3rd and swapping a 5th for a 4th is pretty amazing value for a 32 year old WR in final year of contract. Broncos did well.

Hats off to Sanders on a great Broncos career.

NFL teams have also reached out to the Broncos about cornerback Chris Harris but he seems less likely to be traded.
