Cam Newton endorses Deion Sanders to Dallas Cowboys as 'good business'

Cam Newton believes Deion Sanders heading to become the new head coach for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys would be a tremendous business deal for both sides.

There’s plenty of rumors surrounding Coach Prime’s coaching future, with the Cowboys taking a particular interest in the Colorado Buffaloes leader. With that in mind, the former Auburn Tigers star took some time to deliver his thoughts on the matter, endorsing the idea and elaborating on why it could be a massive success.

“When you think about this, you have to be able to say to yourself, and agree, that Jerry Jones is a masterful businessman. And above all, above the team of success and everything else, does it make business sense? And what better business move than to go out and get the most polarizing coach in all of sports? Yes, that’s good business, I would say,” Newton stated, regarding Sanders’ potential hiring in Dallas, via First Take. “And everybody who would, you know, kind of contest that will say the same.

“But there are concerns that I do have on this. How long Will Jerry Jones give Deion Sanders? And also, do you think Jerry Jones will allow Deion Sanders to shine higher than him in this star state?”

All told, speculation surrounding Sanders and the Cowboys’ head coaching vacancy has hit a boiling point in recent days. Former ESPN reporter Ed Werder went as far to suggest Sanders “would almost certainly accept” an offer from Jerry Jones to become the next head coach of the aforementioned Cowboys.

“Regarding Deion Sanders: I’m being told that he would almost certainly accept if Jerry Jones offers to make him the next Cowboys head coach,” Werder tweeted Thursday morning, “that those around him are encouraging him to pursue it and that Jones is enamored with the idea.”

Sanders, 57, has been linked with the Cowboys job given his longstanding ties to Dallas. Sanders played five seasons with the Cowboys (1995-99) and was one of the biggest stars on Dallas’ last Super Bowl-winning team in 1995.

For his part in the drama, Sanders admitted being intrigued by the conversation with Jones, though he doubled down on his desire to remain in Boulder.

“To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it’s intriguing,” Deion Sanders told ESPN on Monday night, via ESPN insider Adam Schefter. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.”

Time will tell what the future holds, but Deion Sanders will be a hot commodity in 2025, whether it’s in Dallas with the Cowboys, or Boulder with the Buffaloes. Cam Newton believes if the NFL is beckoning, Coach Prime should certainly listen.
