Deion Sanders Signs Extension with Colorado Buffaloes

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, has signed a five-year, $54 million extension, positioning him as the highest-paid coach in the Big 12 and among the top five in college football earnings. This contract extension secures Sanders' stay in Boulder through 2029 and quells speculation about a possible move to the NFL, such as the Dallas Cowboys. His sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, have declared for the NFL draft, allowing Sanders to focus on nurturing new talent, including recruit Julian Lewis. Under Sanders' leadership, the Colorado Buffaloes have significantly improved, achieving a 9-4 record and an Alamo Bowl appearance in the 2024 season. While interest in the NFL remains, Sanders has committed to college coaching, emphasizing the development of young athletes. Shedeur Sanders is a top prospect for the 2025 NFL draft, with the Las Vegas Raiders being a potential destination.
