Rumors that Deion Sanders had a path to become the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys turned out to be nothing more than just talk, but Sanders and Jerry Jones’ conversation at the NFL Honors has speculation rising again.<\/div>\n

\u00a0The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0dominated headlines all throughout Wildcard Weekend with the dramatic circumstances surrounding their head coaching position. Once they decided to move on from\u00a0Mike McCarthy<\/a>,\u00a0Deion Sanders<\/a>\u00a0suddenly emerged as a potential candidate for the job.<\/p>\n

Despite the heat of those initial reports, the craze turned out to be nothing more than a conversation between Sanders and Jerry Jones. “Coach Prime” was never interviewed for the position.<\/p>\n

The two parties went their separate ways with Sanders affirming his intention to continue building his program at the University of Colorado and the Cowboys settling on Brian Schottenheimer as their next head coach.<\/p>\n

However, their viral interaction at Thursday’s\u00a0NFL<\/a> Honors has turned heads. Deion Sanders Jr. posted the conversation to social media though most of it was strategically muted.<\/p>\n

The only portion of the conversation audibly available comes in a brief moment where Jones tells Sanders “I enjoyed our little talk the other day.”<\/p>\n

An interaction rumored to have taken place behind closed doors created a frenzy in the middle of the postseason. Two such icons of the NFL sharing a conversation in front of other celebrities along with a number of cameras and media is sure to stoke the flames of conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Could those talks have involved Sanders’ son Shedeur, also present for this interaction? Like not\u00a0 Although previous theories have circulated regarding the Sanders bringing their show to Dallas, the Cowboys affirmed their commitment to\u00a0quarterback<\/a>\u00a0Dak Prescott last fall with the largest contract extension in NFL history.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Perhaps the talks touched on matters completely outside of football. Both may be in the football business, but also possess a keen understanding of the “business” part of their industry.<\/p>\n

Or, Sanders and Jones could just be exchanging simple pleasantries here. Sanders played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999, helping the franchise win their fifth\u00a0Super Bowl<\/a>\u00a0in his first season with The Star. Jones has maintained relationships with his former players and that could be the easy explanation.<\/p>\n

However, when it comes to Jerry and Deion, it is always possible that something greater could be in the works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
