Deion Sanders Reacts to Shedeur’s Rookie Deal With Browns

   

Shedeur Sanders officially signed his rookie contract with the Cleveland Browns, and his father — and former coach — Deion Sanders had something to say about it.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders reacted to his son Shedeur signing with the Cleveland Browns.

Sanders, selected No. 144 overall in the fifth round, inked a four-year deal on Tuesday worth approximately $4.646 million, including a $447,380 signing bonus. It’s the standard slot value for his draft position.

Sanders’ entry into the NFL took an unexpected turn. Once projected as a first-round pick throughout much of the pre-draft process, Sanders endured a stunning slide that saw him fall all the way to Day 3. His fall finally ended when the Browns traded up to select him in the fifth round.

It’s not the route the Sanders family expected, but Deion is fully behind his son as he looks to prove the doubters wrong.

“Proud Father I am! I love my kids and I pushed my kids to be greater to be better to correct my wrongs & magnify my rights,” Deion Sanders wrote in a social media post. “My kids are built for whatever comes their way. We’re prepared for whatever because I got them no matter what!. Thank you Jesus.”

 

 

 

Deion also included a graphic showing that he made less than Shedeur when he was the No. 5 overall pick in 1989.

Shedeur Sanders Has Joked About Low Salary

Sanders has joked a few times about the value of his rookie deal. During the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward asked to buy Sanders’ jersey that was on display, but he was shut down.

“Nah,” Sanders said. “I gotta sell it, bro. I gotta have some type of money. (Expletive), I’m already down.”
