Overview

  • Sanders went unclaimed and is now a free agent eligible to sign with any team following Tampa Bay's roster cutdown.
  • Reports indicate the Buccaneers are open to re-signing him to the practice squad, though evaluators question his NFL readiness.
  • Coach Todd Bowles labeled the ejection inexcusable, while Michael Irvin framed the early release as a strategy to pass him through waivers.
  • The CFL's Toronto Argonauts hold his negotiating rights, presenting an alternative route as NFL teams set practice squads this week.
  • Deion Sanders said he is praying for another opportunity for Shilo and noted contingency plans if one does not arise, as online criticism from figures like Antonio Brown continued.
