Deion Sanders was linked to the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets' head coaching vacancies by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler -- who said both franchises want to at least hear what Coach Prime would pitch to them.
"A few weeks ago, we broke down Deion Sanders’ NFL outlook. I’m bumping this again because a league source told me this about Sanders in recent days: “I think teams will want to hear what he has to say.” So it wouldn’t shock to see the Jets or Saints or a team casting a wide net to at least reach out or do its research on him," Fowler reported.
Saints Wire's John Singler cautioned that this doesn't mean there's a genuine two-way interest in making a union happen in NOLA.
"Now, that’s highly speculative, and it’s hardly the same as saying Sanders already plans on leaving Boulder for New Orleans. And just because there may be some interest it doesn’t mean that would be a two-way street. At this point Sanders should be busy recruiting and reloading his roster after a solid season ended with a Heisman Trophy in his protege Travis Hunter’s hands," Singler wrote.
You don't have many NFL pundits taking the Sanders rumors seriously. Sanders has repeatedly vowed his commitment to Colorado and even Travis Hunter has tried to make it clear where Coach Prime will be in 2025 and beyond.
“I got a lot of insight. He ain’t going nowhere. He’s going to be right where he's at right now,” Hunter said, per Yahoo Sports.
Would Sanders even tell his sons or Hunter, who he considers a son? Well, if he did go to the league behind their backs, he'd be going back on his own word that he's a father and not a "baby daddy" who follows his kids.
