The Denver Broncos are trading wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to the San Francisco 49ers, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
San Francisco is sending third- and fourth-round 2020 draft picks to Denver, who are also including a 2020 fifth-round pick with Sanders in the deal, the sources said.
Sanders, 32, has 30 catches for 367 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season, his sixth with the Broncos (2-5).
The two-time Pro Bowler suffered a torn left Achilles in practice last December and also had surgery on his right ankle in January, but he made a remarkable recovery and was a full participant in training camp workouts by the middle of August.
He joins a 49ers receiving corps that includes current starters Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin.
Sanders has 7,391 receiving yards and 39 touchdown catches in 134 career games.
