Cowboys leaning toward decision on trading up to draft Shedeur Sanders
The Dallas Cowboys don't appear intent on moving mountains to land Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft. As Pro Football Network's Abhimanyu Chaudhary relays, the "Grown QB" and his father, Deion Sanders, are long shots to land back in the Metroplex.
"It is not certain that Coach Prime will be open to leaving Colorado to coach his son’s team in the NFL. However, if a team like the Cowboys ends up getting Shedeur Sanders, then Jerry Jones has the ability to get the quarterback’s father into the NFL. It will undoubtedly create a lot of buzz around the Cowboys, which their owner loves. However, the possibility of that happening is still quite low. With the win against the Commanders in Week 12, the Cowboys are now 4-7 on the season and have likely played themselves out of the position to draft Sanders," Chaudhary wrote.
"It will be quite surprising if Dallas goes all in and trades up in the 2025 NFL Draft to get the Colorado star. Their current roster needs an upgrade to contend next year, and the best possible way to do that is via the draft. As a result, although Irvin wants his former team to make headlines, it would be wise for them to consider other options unless they somehow end up with the first overall pick."
Jerry Jones put the Shedeur rumors to rest by signing Dak Prescott to a four-year, $240 million contract before the 2024 season. Coach Prime rumors should've been put to sleep long after Deion denied interest in the NFL but talking heads with connections to the franchise like Michael Irvin are trying to manifest a better reality in Dallas.
Shedeur also seemingly has one foot in with the Las Vegas Raiders and is entertaining the thought of ending up on the New York Giants.
Nowhere in this equation do the Cowboys fit in the slightest.
