As a faithful 9er fan, I’m happy for Sanders. He’s had a great career and I’m glad we had him for our run! Team first guy, and a smart veteran. He’s going to have success there with Brees and CantguardMike

Emmanuel: "It izzz what it izzzz"

[scruffdg]

Sanders is right, if Jimmy G and him had connected on that play, the narrative would of been "Jimmy G is the Super Bowl Hero"

[imsoneworleans]

Lmao Stephen a funny max trying to stirrup dry beef with him and Jimmy 🤣

[johnboy]

Thanks you E.Sanders for those big plays, for your professionalism, and humbleness. As a 49ers fan I would love to keep you with the gang, cause I prayed to have you with us and God answered my call. And men what a run we had ! Thank you, good luck with the Saints and we'll see you in Levi NFC championship baby !

Sanders knows. That if Jimmy G would have connected for that touchdown. We wouldn’t be having this discussion .

[noahperez]

A FA move that has gone under the radar

[aarondagod]

Jimmy G First Full Season As A Starter Nd Stephen A. Compares Him To The QBs Saunders Had It’s Ridiculous 🤦🏾 The Jimmy G Hate Must Stop He’s Only Gonna Get Better He’s The Franchise For A Reason 💯

[NOMIDSCREW]

It was nice having you as a niner man!!!! We appreciate your work. You and marquise goodwin. Both solid af

[rogerdodger]

Emmanuel deserves to go somewhere where he’ll get the ball more. It hurts but I understand he doesn’t want to stand around and block 14 plays in a row during the last years of his career. Plus he secured the bag and went to a legit super bowl contender. Very big W very Emmanuel.

[jbmmwalsh]

[ITACHI-hreu]
