NFL legend Deion Sanders is audacious enough to dare tell the league which six teams he will “allow” his sons and Travis Hunter to play for next year.
The Colorado Buffaloes college coach, known nationwide as “Prime Time” or “Coach Prime,” had already stated his desire for his children who play for him, Shadeur and Shilo, and told Hunter to stay away from cold-weather teams in the NFL.
Those pronouncements by Sanders on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” in March 2024 shook up the NFL orbit.
Now, the sports world has learned that Sanders has stated the specific teams that his sons and Hunter will be “allowed” to play for in 2025, according to the New York Post and Philadelphia Eagles Central: The Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Commanders, the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons.

“Anywhere from one through four,” Sanders said. “One of them is going to be one. And the latter one will not go behind four.”
Ironically, Sanders previously said he would dissuade Hunter from playing where it trends towards freezing and snow in late fall and winter.
“Like, I don’t want [Shedeur] going nowhere cold next year,” Sanders told Chris “Mad Dog” Russo on SiriusXM. “He grew up in Texas. He played in Jackson, played in Colorado. Season’s over before it gets cold in Colorado.
“I’m just thinking way ahead. I don’t want that for him,” the football father said.
However, Philly and the Baltimore-D.C. region tend to get rather chilly as the season inches toward November and December.
Sanders — who accomplished the athletic anomaly of being an All-Star caliber player in both pro football and baseball — told the podcast that he would love both Sanders and Hunter to land in Atlanta. He indicated he was dumbfounded by the large number of prosperous Black people in the city, something he said he’d never witnessed before.
