The Dallas Cowboys‘ hopes and dreams came crashing down a few weeks ago when quarterback Dak Prescott had to get season-ending hamstring surgery.
The 31-year-old quarterback was supposed to be a free agent this offseason, but right before Week One, he signed a four-year contract extension worth $240 million, keeping him in Dallas for quite a while.
Dallas Cowboys Could Be Making A Big Move This Offseason
There is no way the Cowboys ever thought they would be this bad, and now they are in a position to draft maybe one of the best quarterbacks in the class, Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.
Sanders is the son of former Cowboys defensive back Deion, and he’s currently the head coach at Colorado. With Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy ready to be shown the door, there have been many rumors about Deion and Sheduer returning to Texas.
Deion’s former Cowboys teammate, Michael Irvin, appeared on Tuesday’s radio show, The Herd, and stated,” Deion would 100% accept the Cowboys job if they draft Sheduer Sanders.”

It’s a pretty bold statement to say Sanders would accept the Dallas head coaching job, but will he even be considered for the role?
It’s not like Deion has had much success at the college level, and throwing him into the NFL would not be a great move.
It would be neat to see both Sanders in Dallas, but at the same time, Sheduer needs to get away from his father and build a career he is capable of.
Whoever drafts Sanders will be getting a great player, but it most likely won’t be the Cowboys since they gave Prescott some big money.
