Sanders Separation: Shilo Sanders gets appreciation while Shedeur Sanders gets total disregard

Time of Indiaa day ago
Two brothers enter the
at once. One goes to the Cleveland Browns. While other plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What ensues surprises everyone. One brother is praised for his dedication.

Another is told that he was never an option.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles says rookie safety Shilo Sanders is going to make it through the preseason. Browns owner Jimmy Haslem says, 'If you had told me Friday night driving home–y'all are gonna pick Shedeur–I would have said that's not happening.' Two separate tales of two Colorado Buffaloes brothers.
Todd Bowles praised Tampa Bay's rookie safety
Todd Bowles said, via Buccaneers' official transcript, that Shilo Sanders can make it through the preseason games.
'He(Shilo Sanders)'s coming along. He's getting the scheme down. He's made plays like everybody else back there. There are a few tests that come up during the preseason–Tuesday night was one, and the other three preseason games and practices will be others. He's got a chance to make it.'
Tampa Bay head coach told Jenna Laine of ESPN that Shilo Sanders has a good grasp of things. 'Like the rest of the safeties, he's very intelligent and he's very loud.
You could hear him making calls and everything. He has a good grasp of things on Day 1. There were three or four of them that did. He was one of them. But ultimately, you have to make plays in pads. That's what it comes down to–knowing what to do and then doing it consistently and constantly getting better every day.
'
Jimmy Haslem says the Cleveland GM wanted Shedeur Sanders
On July 29, when Browns owner addressed the media, he spoke about their rookie QB. Jimmy Haslem said the general manager decided to pick Shedeur Sanders and that if he'd known about it on a Friday, he'd have never picked him for Cleveland.

'Listen, we have a good process, okay? If you had told me Friday night, driving home–y'all are gonna pick Shedeur–I would have said–that's not happening.
But we had a conversation early that morning. And then we had a conversation later that day. I think we had the right people involved in the conversation. At the end of the day, that's Andrew Berry's call. Andrew made the call to pick Shedeur, just like who's gonna start or what play we're gonna call is coach Kevin Stefanski's call.
But that's Andrew's call; he made the call.'
Asante Samuel pictures Shedeur Sanders for New Orleans Saints
Derek Carr's retirement shook the whole of the New Orleans Saints. A two-time Super Bowl champion, Asante Samuel was one of them. Samuel isn't confident about Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough. He offered a solution to this issue–Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
The former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback said on his 'Say What Needs To Be Said' podcast, 'Us vets(veteran players), we don't like to play in none of the preseason games, especially the first one.
I don't expect Joe Flacco to even get into the game. But you know what's most important about this game? 32 other teams are watching. That's what's most important.
Now, he(Shedeur Sanders) goes out there and does something like he did today, nine for nine, two touchdowns, 32 other teams are watching–oh man, this might be the first time we see in history that something bizarre happens where a team tries to make a trade for him, like the Indianapolis Colts, the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are having issues with (Tyler)Shough out there, with their rookie quarterback.'

NFL in shock: Antonio Brown accuses Browns owner Jimmy Haslam of breaking draft pact on Shedeur Sanders

Antonio Brown claims Jimmy Haslam broke secret draft to pick Shedeur Sanders (Image credits: IG/X) The NFL world is buzzing after Antonio Brown claimed Browns owner Jimmy Haslam broke a behind-the-scenes agreement not to draft quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The bombshell accusation comes amid growing speculation that Sanders' surprising fall in the 2025 NFL Draft wasn't just football-related. Despite a standout college season, the Colorado QB dropped deep into the draft pool, raising eyebrows across the league. Now, questions about a possible coordinated freeze-out are gaining serious traction. Antonio Brown's allegation sparks fresh NFL conspiracy talk Brown, the former NFL star known for his drama-filled post-retirement life, alleged that Haslam defied a pact among NFL teams to avoid Shedeur. 'Jimmy doesn't want to publicly admit he broke the agreement between the 31 other teams,' Brown said, hinting at a secretive plan to pass over Sanders. As of now, the NFL has not commented on the claim, and no official record of such an agreement has surfaced. Jimmy Haslam tries to cool the heat with a deflection In a training camp media interaction on July 29, Haslam attempted to shift the spotlight away from himself, placing full responsibility on his general manager. 'That's Andrew Berry's call,' Haslam stated. 'Andrew made the call to pick Shedeur… that was Andrew's call.' He also clarified that play-calling and starter decisions rest with head coach Kevin Stefanski. The public distancing has only intensified speculation about the nature of Shedeur's selection. Draft-Day slide leaves analysts searching for answers Shedeur Sanders entered the 2025 draft with an elite NCAA résumé, yet somehow slipped past several quarterback-needy teams. With 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions on 477 attempts at a 74% completion rate, his performance spoke volumes. He also added four rushing touchdowns, though negative rushing yardage (-50) due to sacks became a talking point. Still, his raw stats make it hard to justify such a slide without other factors in play. Deion Sanders' influence may have complicated the picture Analysts and fans alike are now questioning whether Shedeur's draft journey was shaped more by politics than performance. Many believe the outspoken and unconventional coaching style of his father, Deion Sanders, may have turned some franchises off. From bold media statements to social media visibility, the elder Sanders has never shied away from the spotlight. Teams may have feared bringing that level of public attention and unpredictability into their locker rooms.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts ranks low on Madden 26 NFL list, fans say, ‘that Hurts'

NFL ratings for Madden 26 have been released, and it's safe to say that Philadelphia Eagles fans have been left in shock looking at players' rankings. Lane Johnson (right tackle) and Saquon Barkley (halfback) are the only two players to make it to the 99 club this year, with the latter being announced as the cover star. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts speaks during a news conference at the team's NFL football training camp, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)(AP) As celebratory as this ranking may sound, the score awarded to another Eagle, Jalen Hurts, have been the topic of the town since its release. Jalen Hurts's low ranking As offensive grades for Madden 26 were released, Jalen Hurts's overall grade of 86 has caught widespread attention. 'Madden Ratings are out and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts is only an 86!! Should he be higher or lower than this?,' a page wrote on social media. 'An 86 overall grade still seems insulting. So does tying him with Justin Herbert, and we're going to need an explanation of the Eagles quarterback landing behind Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff,' wrote Geoffrey A Knox of USA Today on Thursday (July 31). 'The 93 rating seems like a generous grade for A.J. Brown. Then, you remember he's better than at least three of the guys who are graded ahead of him. While we realize this is subjective, what gives?'

'This is dumb Maybe 88, 89 at most Winning a SB doesn't make you elite by default,' a fan wrote. 'Probably should be a little higher,' another fan wrote. 'that Hurts ' a user wrote. 'Seems pretty legit honestly,' another user wrote. 'At least a 90…' a fan wrote. EA Sports is set to launch Madden 26 on August 14. The Deluxe Edition can be pre-ordered to play seven days in advance. By Stuti Gupta

Chiefs' Chris Jones opens up about love and longing after split from longtime girlfriend stirs headlines

Chris Jones breaks silence on love life post-breakup (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs defensive star Chris Jones , known for his explosive presence on the field, is revealing a far more vulnerable side off it. Just months after a public and painful breakup with his longtime girlfriend Sheawna Weathersby, Jones appears to be yearning for something deeper than Super Bowl rings—companionship and love. During a lighthearted training camp interview, the 31-year-old defensive tackle shared a surprisingly heartfelt goal from his bucket list: 'I just wanna be married, I just wanna be loved.' Chris Jones shares hopes for marriage and future with someone new Jones' tender revelation was posted on the Chiefs' official TikTok account, drawing attention not just for its sincerity but also for its timing. The video surfaced four months after Weathersby's Instagram post accused Jones of infidelity and confirmed their nine-year relationship had ended 'months ago.' — BSO (@BSO) 'I'm choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship,' she wrote. 'Ultimately Chris' infidelity with the woman he's recently been pictured with led to my decision to end our relationship months ago.' The alleged incident referenced was a now-deleted Instagram photo of Jones with a woman licking his face, which further fueled the breakup narrative. Jones never publicly addressed the accusations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Even Beautiful Women Have Their 'Oops' Moments Read More Undo However, he did declare his single status via a string of tweets back in January—just weeks before signing a mammoth five-year, $158.75 million contract extension that includes $101 million guaranteed. Weathersby's post also described unsettling harassment from the other woman, claiming, 'This is especially troubling given her history of harassment, stalking and disrespect towards me… This behavior has forced me to change my number and has forced Chris to ask her multiple times to please leave me alone and respect our coparenting dynamic.' Chris Jones- Life beyond the breakup Despite the personal upheaval, Jones continues to dominate on the field. Last season, he recorded 75 pressures, 29 quarterback hits, and 10.5 sacks—proving why he's a cornerstone of the Chiefs' defense. Jones and Weathersby, who had been together since at least 2015, share two young children, 6-year-old Christopher and 2-year-old Carson. Weathersby was a familiar presence at games and developed close bonds with other Chiefs WAGs, including Taylor Swift , who is currently dating tight end Travis Kelce . Now, with fame, fortune, and football already under his belt, Jones seems to be seeking something far more elusive—someone to stand beside him when the crowd fades and the lights go dim.
