John Elway, the Broncos' executive vice president of football operations/general manager, announced the deal through his Twitter account.
The contract extension is through the 2019 season.
In an Instagram post, Sanders said he was "honored" to announce that he would be remaining with the Broncos past this season.
"Emmanuel has proven himself as a great player and one of the most productive receivers in this league," Elway said in a statement. "He plays with intensity, and we love the way he competes. We're thrilled Emmanuel is going to be a Bronco for many more years to come."
