The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Broncos GM John Elway says they plan to exercise options on Sanders and Derek Wolfe.

Diehards Line: New HC Vic Fangio seemed to foreshadow this earlier today when he told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that he hopes to have Sanders playing a “major role” in the Denver offense in 2019. Fangio also said that expects the veteran to be “full speed” despite the torn Achilles that ended his season in early December. Keeping him will require the team to pay Sanders a $1.5 million roster bonus on March 12. Sanders caught 71 passes for 868 yards and four touchdowns in 2018.
