Could Shedeur Sanders‘ recent appearance at the Dallas Mavericks‘ NBA clash hint Deion Sanders is poised to pen a deal at the AT&T Stadium to join the Dallas Cowboys, after Jerry Jones forced Mike McCarthy to head to the doors?
The 22-year-old quarterback, who is tipped to be drafted in the first round, was spotted in the Texan city on Tuesday, January 14 as he watched Kyrie Irving shoot baskets in a 118-99 defeat to the Denver Nuggets.
And whilst the Colorado Buffaloes‘ star soaked up the atmosphere at the American Airlines Center, rumors sparked he might be finding a permanent home in the surrounding neighborhoods.
That’s because it has widely been reported that Shedeur and Deion come as a double-package and a watching NFL team won’t get one without the other, thus why his appearance courtside has prompted discussion Coach Prime may be replacing McCarthy.

The 61-year-old was let go from his post at the end of his contract with the team, which he failed to guide to Super Bowl glory in five seasons and finished the 2024/25 campaign with a 7-10 record in the NFC East.
“It became mutually clear that it would be better for each of us to head in a different direction,” Jones said, before praising the out-going coach for his impact on the culture of the organization and his “tremendous” presence.
Whilst Deion has been linked to the Arlington-based team for months, it is worth noting that Shedeur was born in Texas and close to Dallas. He grew up in Cedar Hill, one of the southern suburbs in the city.
