Dan Patrick’s popular show has once again grabbed attention, this time focusing on the ever-charismatic Deion Sanders.
Patrick went through the topic via commentary from sportscaster and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, who shared insights regarding Sanders, his aspirations, and his ties to the NFL.
The conversation also touched on a rumored connection between Deion Sanders and Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. Keep reading for all the details.
Deion Sanders and the Cowboys: What’s the Real Story?
Patrick raised a burning question: is Deion Sanders destined for a role with the Cowboys? Griffin responded cautiously, saying, “I’m in with an asterisk.”
According to him, Deion has made it clear that his interest in coaching at the NFL level hinges on one critical condition—coaching his sons.
Griffin revealed that Sanders is focused on setting up his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, for success, including preparing them for potential high draft picks. Both currently play for the Colorado Buffaloes, a team their father passionately leads.
The Jerry Jones Connection: A Phone Call Fuels Speculation
The buzz around Sanders coaching the Dallas Cowboys started after a reported phone call between Jerry Jones and Deion Sanders. The rumor gained traction following Mike McCarthy’s departure as Cowboys head coach.
Jones commented on McCarthy’s exit, saying it became clear during discussions that both sides needed a fresh direction. This statement added fuel to the speculation about Sanders stepping into the role.
Colorado or Cowboys: Where Will Sanders Land?
The possibility of Sanders leaving the Buffaloes for the Cowboys has sparked widespread interest. NFL Network reporter Jen Slater hinted that Sanders might be negotiating for an extension with Colorado, possibly leveraging the situation to secure a more lucrative deal.
However, if Jerry Jones is serious about hiring Sanders, he would need to overcome a $10 million buyout clause with the University of Colorado. For someone like Jones, financial hurdles might not stand in the way of bringing Coach Prime to Dallas.
For now, the situation remains uncertain, with Sanders seemingly focused on both his current team and his family. Whether he stays in Colorado or heads to the NFL, his next move continues to be a hot topic of discussion.
