EA Removes Shilo Sanders From Madden 26 as NFL Hopes Dim

The video-game decision underscores his unsigned status after a preseason punch led to his Buccaneers release.

Overview

EA Sports removed Sanders from Madden 26 following his late-August cut by Tampa Bay, with reports noting the timing likely reflected a wait to see if he signed elsewhere.
Sanders remains a free agent after a workout with the 49ers did not produce a deal, while other teams with secondary needs opted for different signings.
He was ejected and fined $4,669 for throwing a punch in a preseason game against the Bills, and head coach Todd Bowles publicly condemned the action before the team moved on.
The undrafted safety had signed a reported four-year, $2.9 million contract with the Buccaneers before being waived at final cuts.
He has begun pursuing modeling and acting opportunities with reported representation by United Talent Agency, as the Toronto Argonauts retain his CFL negotiating rights and fans voice support online.
