Then there's the other wrinkle: Deion is thought to be a package deal if he takes an NFL job. His son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, is projected to be among the top picks in the upcoming draft, and it's hard to see a scenario where dad coaches one NFL team, and son plays for another.

As owner and general manager extraordinaire Jerry Jones looks to land his next splash hire, Colorado coach Deion Sanders has emerged as an intriguing candidate in a potential jump to the NFL coaching ranks. According to multiple reports, Jones and Sanders have already spoken about the opening.

Deion Sanders and Jason Witten are two of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' former – and favorite – players, and both have been floated as potential replacements for coach Mike McCarthy.
