When reporters asked about his decision to hire an agent last month, Sanders quickly pushed back. "What's that have to do with this game?" Sanders responded. "I'm focused on this game.

The timing also drew comparisons to Marvin Harrison Jr., who hired an agent before the Arizona Cardinals traded him to the Houston Texans.
