Deion Sanders, who is worth $45M (according to celebrity net worth), is working hard to prepare the Buffaloes for the upcoming season and has secured a massive $54 million contract extension. The new contract runs through the 2029 season. It is a massive addition to his fortune, which is eyed by his elder son, Deion Sanders Jr., who hilariously demanded a piece of it on X.

Reacting to a post explaining Coach Prime's earnings in the next five years on Saturday, Sanders Jr. wrote:

"I know my dawg gone show me some love.. he wouldn’t just keep this all for himself."

When Deion Sanders first took over the Colorado Buffaloes, people had doubts about his coaching capabilities. He took the program from a 1-11 program in 2022 to a 4-8 in his first year as the Colorado coach in the 2023 season, with immense support from fans and celebrities before they started facing back-to-back losses.

However, Coach Prime was determined to change things in his second year as head coach. He brought in talented and experienced coaching staff like Warren Sapp and flipped the entire O-line, helping him secure a successful 9-4 season in 2024.

Deion Sanders weighs in on the Dallas Cowboys HC rumors

One of the biggest names floating on the internet after Mike McCarthy's exit from the Cowboys to fill the vacant space was Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. Some fans and analysts even argued that Jerry Jones should hire Coach Prime and Shedeur Sanders together to have a shot at turning the program around.

Coach Prime also confirmed that he had a conversation with Jones, but the Cowboys owner didn't really offer him a job:

"No, I'm not going to say it was offered to me," Sanders said. "I'm going to say it was an opportunity that could've presented itself, and we didn't go to that next level. But Jerry was always honest and straight up from Day 1. Now, I did think about it, like, what are the possibilities? But I think at this point in time, I'm called to the college game."

The Colorado Buffaloes will be kicking off the 2025 season against the Georgia Tech at Folsom Field on Aug. 29.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present. He thinks this keeps the content unique rather than just a bland reporting of facts. Prasen believes in fact-checking and researching relevant information as per the headline and context. He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
