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.

Ex-Steelers QB Justin Fields receives positive update after scary injury at training camp
On Thursday, hearts stopped at Jets training camp — as QB Justin Fields, who left the Pittsburgh Steelers to sign with New York this offseason, was carted off the field with a lower leg injury, multiple reporters confirmed. An hour later, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that HC Aaron Glenn believes someone stepped on Fields' right toe — a clearly dodged bullet for what could've been a season-ending injury. While he is set to undergo an MRI, the initial report indicated there was no fracture in the toe. Jets fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief, as the retooled New York offense hinges on the ever-athletic, dual-threat quarterback, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract in March. Despite leaving Pittsburgh in free agency, Fields' flashes of greatness last season left some fans reluctant to see him go — but here's to a speedy recovery, one that allows him to face off against his former team led by Aaron Rodgers in the Week 1 season opener at MetLife.

Bills RB James Cook makes stern announcement on contract negotiations
The Buffalo Bills and star running back James Cook have been at odds all offseason. Buffalo gave extensions to several star players, including Greg Rousseau, Christian Benford, Khalil Shakir, Terrel Bernard, and Josh Allen, but not to their two-time Pro Bowl running back. Despite not getting the deal he wanted, Cook still showed up to both mandatory mini-camp and training camp, but has remained loyal to himself when it comes to getting a deal done. 'I'm never going to give up," Cook said via Dan Fetes. "I deserve what I want.' Cook led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 16 in 2024, and had 21 total scores across the regular season and the playoffs. He is the best skill position player the Bills have, and they should do what it takes to make sure he's taken care of. While the star running back reportedly wants $15 million per year, it's a price worth paying, as he is arguably the key cog in Buffalo's offense outside of Allen.

Aaron Boone says Yankees' defense ‘just not good enough' after 4 errors in loss to Blue Jays
TORONTO — Yankees manager Aaron Boone said his team's defensive performance was 'just not good enough' after New York made four errors in an 8-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. 'We've got to, obviously, tighten it up,' Boone said. 'Confident we will. We'll continue to work at it. We have good defenders here, but tonight was obviously a rough night for us.' Left-hander Max Fried and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. made throwing errors, while first baseman Ben Rice and outfielder Jasson Domínguez made fielding errors. The Yankees also made several miscues that didn't count as errors, including Cody Bellinger losing a flyball in the twilight and no one covering the plate after Fried's errant throw in the fifth inning. 'Today was a little shaky,' Bellinger said. Davis Schneider scored from third base when Fried bounced his throw home on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s chopper. 'Tough angle and just not a good throw,' said Fried, a three-time Gold Glove winner with Atlanta. George Springer scored from second base after the ball rolled away from catcher J.C. Escarra. The Yankees made seven errors in the three-game series, including a pair of poor throws that led to runs for Toronto in the series opener, a 4-1 Blue Jays win. 'We haven't been playing that well on defense,' slugger Aaron Judge said. 'We've got a lot of things we've got to clean up.' New York also struggled defensively while getting swept in four games at Toronto from June 30 to July 3 as the Blue Jays leapfrogged the Yankees atop the AL East. 'Obviously, we've had two (crummy) series up here,' Boone said. 'There's no way around it. Maybe we'll get a chance to come back here at some point and flip that script.' New York has committed 52 errors in 102 games. The Yankees are 41-22 when they play error-free baseball but 15-24 when they make at least one miscue. 'It's in our control so we'll take care of it,' Judge said.
