Deion Sanders continues to be linked with an NFL move ahead of the 2025 season – where some interesting opportunities could present itself to the Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Colorado’s impressive 2024 season continued with another win this past weekend when they defeated Utah – moving up to the 16th ranked team and competing for a spot in the NCAA playoffs. Sanders has turned the school around from being somewhat of a laughing stock in the NCAA, going 1-11 in 2022 and now sitting at 8-2 and looking like legitimate playoff contenders.

Sanders’ head coaching resume speaks for itself at this point with an impressive 39-16 in his five years since beginning at Jackson State while greatly improving both schools – helped out by his son, Shedeur Sanders, and Travis Hunter in the last three years.

This offseason though, both Shedeur and Hunter will leave for the NFL Draft, along with Deion’s other son on the Buffaloes roster, Shilo, with the head coaches future still uncertain.

Despite the school already declaring their intent to see Deion remain after his two sons leave the school for the draft, the head coach is rumored to be drawing interest from the NFL. With multiple head coaching spots likely to become available this offseason, Mirror U.S. Sports has evaluated the three team’s that might consider bringing in the legendary figure.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy keeping his job heading into the 2025 season feels incredibly unlikely at this point, with owner Jerry Jones admitting that he considered making the move after their previous year with the team falling apart in 2024.

If Sanders is to make a move to the NFL, doing so with his former team feels the most likely. Sanders has a good relationship with owner Jerry Jones – who is no stranger to bringing back old faces to the franchise. The Cowboys gave quarterback Dak Prescott a hefty contract this past offseason, so they’d be unlikely to bring in Shedeur, but they could target Hunter in the draft.

Expect Bill Belichick to be heavily linked to the Cowboys.

New York Giants

After benching Daniel Jones ahead of this weekend, the Giants have pretty much made it clear that they will be drafting a quarterback this year – with Sanders likely to be their number one priority.

The opportunity to continue to coach his son will undoubtedly one that Deion would love, with the Giants giving him a great opportunity to do so while being in New York City, with the one of the league’s most storied franchises.

It remains to be seen whether current head coach Brian Daboll will keep his job, after winning coach of the year in 2022 with two brutal years following. The Giants will also likely be seen as an ideal landing spot for Belichick, in what would be a return to the team of which he made his name as their defensive coordinator in the 1980’s.

Deion Sanders to the Raiders just feels right, doesn’t it? The Raiders love going against the grain and making big decisions out of left field, with a new head coach likely to be atop of their agenda with Antonio Pierce struggling.

The Raiders are competing in what might be the toughest division in football, led by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs and are in desperate need of a new direction. And when considering that the Raiders are also in need of a quarterback, they could pair Deion with Shedeur and instantly become one of the more exciting teams in the NFL.

It might not work out… it probably won’t… but at least it would be fun!
