Colin Cowherd is getting slammed on social media after suggesting a trade that would see the Dallas Cowboys land Shedeur Sanders in the draft while bringing in his dad, Deion Sanders, as coach.
Cowherd has made some outrageous trade proposals in the past, but it appears this latest one might be his wildest, as he’s urged the Cowboys to do whatever it takes to get the aforementioned Sanders duo.
Speaking on his show, ‘The Herd,’ this Tuesday, Cowherd proposed that the Cowboys trade Micah Parsons and three first-round picks to move up in the draft and ensure they snare the Colorado star.
“I would go get Deion Sanders. I would pick Shedeur Sanders. If I had to give up Micah Parsons and three firsts, I would do it,” he said in the clip below.

Colin Cowherd Gets Crushed In The Comments
Well, fans don’t think this take was among his finest moments, and they have been ripping him in the comments.
“Dude……….. Like do you even think before you talk about this stuff. Dak Prescott just signed a 60 million dollar deal. Whether Dak is worth the money or not, why in the hell would they do that?????” one asked.
“The Cowboys would get so much worse if this happened lmao,” another laughed.
“He needs to be banned from football for even thinking that,” someone suggested.
“I swear on my life I would stop being a Cowboys fan,” a fan added.
Totally disagree, Colin. Coaching kids coming out of high school is no comparison to coaching NFL adult millionaires.
Saban found that out. He failed and bailed on Miami. NFL players will not be in awe of Deion.
His coaching strategy would not be as successful at the NFL level.— CAMUSC (@Cammaui85) November 19, 2024
It appears that fans are nervous because they know that this is exactly the sort of thing Jerry Jones would actually do.
Still, Shedeur Sanders and his dad have helped turn things around at Colorado and might be able to do the same for an NFL franchise.
Of course, Coach Prime has repeatedly said he has no desire to coach in the NFL, so good luck getting him to change his mind.
