New England Patriots sign Emmanuel Sanders of Pittsburgh Steelers to offer sheet
The New England Patriots on Wednesday signed Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free-agent wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to an offer sheet, a league source said.
The source said the offer sheet is a one-year deal. The Steelers have five days to decide whether to match the offer or let Sanders go to the Patriots and receive a third-round draft choice from New England in return.
The Patriots also Wednesday reached agreement on a one-year deal to re-sign wide receiver Julian Edelman, a league source confirmed to ESPNBoston.com.
The money in the offer sheet won't scare Pittsburgh, sources said. But Sanders can leave in a year as an unrestricted free agent. Instead of risking losing him with no compensation after the 2012 season, the Steelers could opt to take New England's third-round pick now.

Given their own miserable record of drafting WR's, I hope they get him.
