Embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez will sign with the Dallas Cowboys after being released by the Denver Broncos, a source told ESPNs Adam Schefter.Sanchezs deal with Dallas will be for one year, according to the source.Sanchezs future in Denver looked bleak after Broncos coach Gary Kubiak named Trevor Siemian his starting quarterback and had rookie Paxton Lynch take all the snaps in the teams preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals.Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway said he had a long talk with Sanchez on Saturday morning as the veteran quarterback was being told of his impending release.I will tell you this ... he handled it with great class, Elway said. I know hes disappointed. He wanted to stay here and, you know, we just thought with where we are, we thought it was best for us to [go] different ways at this time. But Mark was great, and you know what? He handled everything great ... I thought he handled it great, and its just unfortunate he didnt win that job.Sanchez was traded to Denver by the Philadelphia Eagles in March.The Broncos save $3.5 million and a seventh-round draft pick by releasing Sanchez, who would have been owed $4.5 million for the season. The other $1 million is guaranteed but with offsets. The Broncos now will have to pay only that portion that exceeds whatever the Cowboys will be paying him, up to $1 million.Sanchez was 20-of-30 passing for 219 yards and one touchdown, with one interception, in two preseason appearances, including a start in the preseason opener in Chicago.He lost two fumbles in the closing minutes of the first half of the preseason game against San Francisco, meaning he had three turnovers in 46 snaps on the field.The Broncos did quickly add a veteran quarterback to the mix when they signed Austin Davis.Davis, a fifth-year veteran who started eight games for the then-St. Louis Rams in 2014, was released by the Cleveland Browns this past week when rosters league-wide went to 75 players.Elway reaffirmed Davis is coming on board to help mentor Siemian and Lynch -- neither has thrown a pass in a regular-season game -- and that Siemian is the Broncos unquestioned starter.Hes coming in to learn the offense, Elway said. ... Trevors the guy, weve got a lot of confidence in Trevor and know he can do the job. Its Trevors job, and hes not going to be looking over his shoulder. Hes got a lot of support, and Trevor earned the job. Im excited about him -- Im excited to see him play.Aside from Sanchez, the Broncos parted ways with 21 other players, including three other veterans with extensive regular-season experience: RB Ronnie Hillman, DL Henry Melton and FB/RB Juwan Thompson.?ESPNs Dan Graziano and Jeff Legwold contributed to this report.?Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Larry Fitzgerald is a bit beat up, but thats nothing new.Hes taken a lot of hits in 204 NFL games. And it hasnt mattered whether he plays wideout or in the slot, where he is now. Things get more crowded when playing as a slot receiver, but Fitzgerald said the contact is the same.I took a lot of shots outside, too, he said. You play receiver, youre going to get hit. Its the nature of the beast. But its a good problem to have. If youre not getting hit, that means youre not getting any targets.Fitzgerald had a whopping 18 targets in last Sundays 23-20 victory over San Francisco. Statistically, it was his best game of the season -- 12 catches, 122 yards.He played despite a sore knee and ankle. After the game, he acknowledged hes felt better.You dont play 13 years without playing with pain, Fitzgerald said after the game.Its football, he said. Youre going to get banged up. Its just part of it. Theres a difference between being hurt and being injured. A lot of guys are hurting. I dont want to name any on our team but there are guys that are playing through stuff.So there is no doubt that he will play Sunday when he returns to his hometown to face the Minnesota Vikings.Hes a well-conditioned athlete, Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwyn said. He knows what it takes to be great and he does everything possible as far as getting in the training room and getting the proper rehab that he needs to be successful.dddddddddddd So it just comes down to individual want-to. The guy loves football so hes not going to let anybody take him off the grass.This is Fitzgeralds fifth trip to face the Vikings. Arizona has lost the other four.It would bother me if I played for the Vikings (and lost every game there), Fitzgerald joked. Its not like Ive got a big body of work there.Then he reeled off the names of other places where hes never won -- Buffalo, Green Bay, Pittsburgh (as a pro).Theres some places besides Minnesota I havent won, Fitzgerald said.Winning there would be something special, though. Fitzgerald was once a ballboy for the Vikings. He recalled several moments at big events growing up when he was asked about his memories of the late Metrodome.Because his father was a sports writer, he got to know players and was allowed to catch fly balls before some Twins games.I never took it for granted, he said. I was very appreciative of the opportunity.Fitzgerald brushed off the suggestion this might be the last time he plays in Minnesota.I havent thought about that, he said.But hes 33 years old and is in his 13th NFL season. Who knows when the Cardinals will be scheduled to play at Minnesota again?---For more NFL coverage: Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку! and Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку! ' ' '
