Over the last few months, Sanders' name has floated around multiple head coach openings. Amid the Cowboys' midseason losing streak, some brought up Sanders as a potential replacement for Mike McCarthy given Sanders' storied history with the team, though McCarthy has so far stayed put in Dallas.

The Las Vegas Raiders represent a tantalizing opportunity for Sanders. While their 4-13 record in 2024 reflects a team in need of rebuilding, the franchise also offers an allure few can resist. The Raiders have a storied history, a passionate fan base, and a shiny Allegiant Stadium located in one of the most exciting cities in the world.

NFL-connected associates of Colorado coach Deion Sanders have reached out to the Raiders to express his interest in the team’s coaching job, according to a source.
