Overview

• Tampa Bay’s preseason finale against the Bills today is Sanders’ last on-field audition before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET roster deadline.
• Coach Todd Bowles says Sanders is “very hungry” and “has a chance,” with this week pivotal as he competes with Kaevon Merriweather and Rashad Wisdom for a safety spot after JJ Roberts went to injured reserve.
• Sanders filed Chapter 7 in 2023 seeking to wipe out an $11.89 million default judgment tied to a 2015 incident involving former school security guard John Darjean.
• Legal experts cited by USA TODAY say that if Darjean ultimately prevails, collection efforts such as wage garnishment could be pursued against Sanders’ NFL pay.
• The bankruptcy case remains active with no trial date reported, and Sanders has become a fan magnet in Tampa as some outlets speculate the Cowboys could explore him if he is waived.
