Deion Sanders has talked about getting involved in where his sons will play in the NFL, but now the talks have shifted to him possibly coaching in the NFL.
It’s no secret that Sanders would like Shedeur to play in Las Vegas, but with the no. 6 pick in the draft, the Raiders would need to make some incredible moves to get high enough to take him.
The Las Vegas Raiders have started searching for the next head coach of the Silver and Black, which may lead them to Deion.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that Deion Sanders has a “very strong interest” in the Las Vegas Raiders head coach opening.

The Review-Journal’s Vincent Bonsignore cited a person close to Sanders.
The franchise is looking to replace Antonio Pierce, who they fired after the season. Tom Brady’s minority ownership of the team helps matters.

What Will Deion Sanders Do?
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders’ supposed interest in the Las Vegas Raiders opening is a hot topic of discussion.
Buffaloes fans shouldn’t worry too much as Tashan Reed and Vic Tafur of The Athletic reported that any interest the Raiders might have in Sanders is totally fabricated, saying that the team has “no interest” in him.
In two years at Colorado, Sanders has taken the Buffaloes from a one-win team to a four-win team and then to a nine-win team.
He seems to be on board with returning to the program for the 2025 season.
