Deion Sanders's reported talks with the Dallas Cowboys may be a strategic move to leverage his value and secure a better deal with the University of Colorado.

The Dallas Cowboys are speculation central for much of the year, but the buzz surrounding the franchise is ramping up to another level following the report that owner Jerry Jones reached out to Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders about the vacant head coach position.

Deion Sanders and Jason Witten are two of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ former — and favorite — players, and both have been floated as potential replacements for coach Mike McCarthy.
