Summary
Shilo Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, signed a lucrative contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but didn’t get paid the full amount. He received a modest signing bonus and workout bonus but was cut from the team and fined for throwing a punch at an opponent. Sanders is no longer training for a return to the NFL and has accepted that his career is likely over.
Our Reading
The habit of chasing an NFL career gets a new name.
Shilo Sanders’s brief stint in the NFL ended with a punch and a fine that took a 75% hit on his already modest earnings. His contract was worth $2.965 million, but most of it was not guaranteed. He’s now willing to listen to any team willing to give him another chance, but he’s not in active playing shape. The end of his NFL career was likely marked by that one punch.
His career earnings will stall out at a little over $5,000, a small price to pay for a dream that didn’t quite work out.
