Deion Sanders has been the subject of much conversation in recent weeks as the Dallas Cowboys have struggled. The Dallas Cowboys have had better months. Between the ongoing losing streak, Dak Prescott’s injury, and talk about Mike McCarthy like he’s already gone , the Cowboys’ roof might be coming down.
Oh wait, that already might be happening, or at least, a metal sheet of it. Either way, at 3-7 and down a quarterback, talk is already turning to next year. Depending on how Jerry Jones handles things, it might very well be one of the biggest stories in sports.
Dak Prescott will be back from his very real injury and the Cowboys could have another star, but it isn’t a guarantee. With seemingly everyone in the media mentally moved on from Mike McCarthy already, it appears that there might be a new star at the podium in 2025, but there is a condition to his hiring. One former Dallas Cowboys star has claimed to have the scoop.
Michael Irvin delivers Deion Sanders news Speaking on a recent edition of the “Herd with Colin Cowherd,” NFL analyst Michael Irvin claimed that if the Cowboys were to spend a draft pick on Shedeur Sanders, Deion Sanders would sign up with the team. “Do believe. And I do too that if Shadeur went to the Cowboys, Deion would accept the job,” Cowherd asked.
“I believe 100%. And I can tell you, good sources have told me. Great sources have told me that.
That’s all I can say like that without violating anything else,” Irvin said. Irvin did not mince words and spoke with such conviction that he either is putting on an Oscar-worthy performance, or he truly does have more than just an opinion on Deion Sanders . Implications of a Shedeur Sanders-Deion Sanders deal Presented as a potential breakthrough deal, the mechanics of pulling off something like this are messy.
With the NFL Draft taking place in April and the typical coaching hire cycle happening in January, the Cowboys would be unable to guarantee Sanders anything unless they get the first overall pick. While technically possible, they would need some help. This would essentially be viewed as a trade, spending a first-round pick for the head coach and if Shedeur works out, it would be a bonus.
However, it could also lay the foundation for a situation where the team could lose both Sanders family members overnight. Could Deion Sanders recommend cutting his own son if it came down to it? In the background, making such a deal would seemingly instantly force Mike McCarthy to test the waters with another team. There will be plenty of vacancies, so if the Cowboys are not careful, they could end up losing both coaches.
This would leave them to look at the sea of coordinators, which is little better than a mid-draft pick. This article first appeared on NFL Analysis Network and was syndicated with permission..
