Emmanuel Sanders, a key off-season target, has arrived in Kansas City for his visit and will stay until Saturday, according to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star. Here is the string of Tweets Paylor sent out about the situation.
A source tells me Emmanuel Sanders does have a visit scheduled with the 49ers for Sat. However, I’m told he JUST arrived in KC. #Chiefs

Sanders will be spending the night in Kansas City. So #Chiefs indeed have a chance to keep him here and never let him leave.

@dhulse3 Typical two-day visit but the fact he just got here is a good thing

Adam Teicher wrote this morning the Chiefs have a little over $7.3 million remaining in cap room so there is enough space to sign both Sanders and Vance Walker should the team be able to sell both of them on KC.
Reports suggest Sanders has a visit with 49ers lined up if he does not agree to a deal with the Chiefs in the next 24 hours.
