DEION SANDERS has hinted at his future with the Colorado Buffaloes after being linked with the Dallas Cowboys.
The former NFL star is regarded as one of the top college bosses around.
He’s been with the Buffaloes since 2023 after impressing at Jackson State.
It’s reckoned Sanders is earning a staggering $29.5million while in Colorado, with a further $600,000 up for grabs in bonuses.
But now, Sanders is being linked with a move away to the big leagues.
NFL giants Dallas Cowboys are said to be looking at him after another dire season.
Jerry Jones has already reached out to Sanders over a potential rebuild of the team.
But the popular coach has now sent a message about his future in a team talk with his Buffaloes players.
Sanders revealed he was looking forward to “just being a coach” with the team after sons Shedeur and Shilo.
The duo are both set to be in the upcoming NFL draft as they aim for one of the country’s top sides.
And dad Sanders said he could not wait to finally coach the Buffaloes without the emotional ties that bond him to his sons.
He told players: “It’s a privilege to be standing before you.

“I can’t explain how happy and how thoughtful and how thankful I am for this day.
“I’ve been praying about this day, I’ve been anticipating this day. You’ve got to understand it’s an emotional day for me.
“It’s the first day I’ve been up here without two knuckleheads. I’m looking back, Shilo told me I’d get mad at him for not being in the meeting today.
“Well he’s not meant to be in the meeting today. But this is the first day I’m coaching without my boys which is a pleasure and an honour for me, so now I can just be a coach and not a dad.
“I like that, I love that, but I feel like I’m going to treat somebody in here, or the multitude of you in here like you’re my sons because I love you that much.
“You could have chosen anybody but you chose us, and you chose me, so I’m proud of you.”
