Last week, Deion Sanders supposedly said Shedeur is "hoping" for New York
Maybe.
Last Wednesday, Deion Sanders served as the keynote speaker at ProMat 2025 in Chicago. During the appearance, Deion supposedly expressed hope that Shedeur will be drafted by 'New York.'
It's not entirely clear who heard it, or who reported it. It traces, we think, to a Twitter account belonging to a user named John Sokol, who was attending the conference. The claim that Deion and Shedeur are hoping for New York has been amplified by the usual online aggre-bot suspects who operate under the protocol of ready-fire-aim.
There's no way to confirm Deion said it. There's no video that he said it. There's only a claim from someone who was attending the conference and claims he heard Deion say it.
Maybe he did. It's just odd that it went unnoticed for five days.
Hopefully, Deion will be asked about it the next time he meets with reporters. And, even more hopefully, we'll get clarification on which New York team he was referring to. If he was referring to either one of them.

Sabres avoid arbitration by signing defenseman Connor Timmins to 2-year, $4.4 million contract
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres avoided a salary arbitration hearing with Conor Timmins by signing the newly acquired defenseman to a two-year, $4.4 million contract on Sunday. The 26-year-old Timmins was a restricted free agent and acquired with defenseman Isaac Beliveau in a trade that sent blue-liner Connor Clifton to the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 28. The Sabres are Timmins' fifth team in six NHL seasons since the 2017 second-round draft pick broke into the league with Colorado in 2019-20. He finished last season with a career-high three goals and 15 points in 68 games split between Pittsburgh and Toronto. Overall, he has six goals and 46 points in 159 games. Timmins' signing leaves the Sabres with goalie Devon Levi as their only unsigned restricted free agent. ___ AP NHL:
