Shedeur Sanders has been a story to watch for the Cleveland Browns since he was drafted. There has been major speculation that he hasn’t been given a fair shot. His brother, Shilo Sanders, went undrafted and signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, after being ejected in his last preseason game, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles didn’t mince his words.
“You can’t throw punches in this league. That’s inexcusable. They’re going to get you every time. Gotta grow from that,” Bowles said.
The Buccaneers decided to cut Shilo Sanders, leaving him uncertain about his next steps. If he decides to continue playing football outside the NFL, he could possibly team up with Shedeur again in a wild scenario.
“It works on a first-come, first-served basis for the CFL’s franchises. Each team can have up to 45 players on their negotiating lists. The gesture remains premature. But if Shilo isn’t claimed on waivers and also isn’t signed to an NFL practice squad, he could choose to continue his football career in Canada,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote.
Shedeur is currently claimed by the same CFL team, so if Shilo were to get cut, the brothers could play together again. However, Shilo might pursue a career outside of football.
“I’ll be talking to my agent and we’re waiting on the next opportunity. If that’s in the NFL, cool, but God has blessed me with a lot of talent to do things other than football,” Sanders said.

Shilo also seems at peace with the uncertainty of his football career, acknowledging that his time in the game could be limited.
“I feel like in every athlete's life, it becomes a point to where the game ends for you," Sanders said.
This is a harsh reality for Shilo Sanders, but he appears to be in good spirits despite his situation. He is talented and has options beyond football. For now, it seems his path as a professional football player is uncertain, and he has come to terms with that.
