Colorado HC Deion Sanders has claimed Colorado will be his coaching home for the foreseeable future, but rumors suggest Las Vegas could be next.

Although Deion Sanders lost all three-star players in Travis Hunter alongside his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, the coach swears he's staying in Colorado. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that his exit from Boulder may already be underway. A local journalist from Las Vegas Review JournalVincent Bonsignore says the addition of Tom Brady has changed the perception of the Raiders' job in Vegas.

Additionally, Bonsignore alleges that Deion expressed “very strong interest” in the position. It seemed like baseless rumors until Deion appeared on Hello America earlier this week. Deion surprisingly revealed that he would consider coaching in the NFL if it meant coaching Shedeur and Shilo.

After the New York Giants won their last game and lost their top seed in the draft, Shedeur will likely head to the Raiders instead. With Shedeur being a mentee of minority owner Tom Brady and Deion Sanders being a close friend, the rumors seem legit.

Following the firing of Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, a position has opened up at a top destination, no pun intended. Apparently, the only person in mind is Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions; However, with the Lions close to an appearance in Super Bowl LIX, there is anything the Lions can do to keep him.

Deion Sanders' coaching tenure has always featured Shedeur as the QB1, and many people have a hard time seeing that changing for the 2025-2026 season.
