The quarterback has now been tipped to be picked first in the class of 2025.
There are a number of teams in the hunt for the 22-year-old.
These include the New York Giants, who are in desperate need for a franchise QB.
The Tennessee Titans are also in the picture, with Will Levis struggling.
The Carolina Panthers still have question marks over the future of Bryce Young.
The New England Patriots will have a high pick, but Drake Maye is seen as a star of the future.
The Cleveland Browns will also be interested in Shedeur, with concerns over Deshaun Watson.
But the main player in the race is the Las Vegas Raiders.
They are in desperate need of a new quarterback to replace Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew.
That is where Deion and Shedeur would like to end up in April.
But a 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday could have put an end to that dream.
They are now down in SIXTH in the 2025 NFL Draft.
That is behind the Giants, Browns and Titans.
The Patriots and Jaguars are also ahead of them.
NFL head coach annual salaries
1. Andy Reid – Chiefs – $20 million
2. Sean Payton – Broncos – $18 million
=3. Mike Tomlin – Steelers – $16 million
=3. Jim Harbaugh – Chargers – $16 million
5. Sean McVay – Rams – $15 million
6. Kyle Shanahan – 49ers – $14 million
7. John Harbaugh – Ravens – $12 million
=8. Dan Campbell – Lions – $11 million
=8. Sean McDermott – Bills – $11 million
10. Mike MacDonald – Seahawks – $10 million
This could all-but end any hopes of Shedeur heading to Sin City in the offseason.
The QB is predicted to be the first overall pick by analysts and experts.
Buffaloes head coach Deion told Raiders chief Antonio Pierce last month he wanted his son in Las Vegas.
Their owner Mark Davis also dropped a hint that the college superstar could be heading their way too.
Meanwhile, Tom Brady, a stakeholder in the team, is close with the Sanders family.
The 3-12 side could try and trade up to get their man, but it would prove almost impossible.
And the Giants look likely to lose all their remaining games this season.
“Raiders have another very winnable game against the Saints coming up,” said Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report.
“They should at least have a trade offer prepared for the Patriots and Jaguars if those teams remain in the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
“The team that doesn’t draft Travis Hunter will at least listen.”
