A report states that Deion Sanders has a "very strong interest" in the open Raiders job.

There is a Deion Sanders-led NFL head coaching job opening.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that the Colorado Buffaloes head coach is interested in coaching the Raiders.

Associates of Sanders have reportedly reached out to the team to express interest.

This week, the Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco, both of whom had been with the team for their first full seasons.

Tom Brady, who owns a 5% stake in the franchise, will have a significant influence on the selection of the next head coach. It's well-known that Brady and Sanders have a close relationship.

The Raiders are in need of a quarterback, and Shedeur Sanders, the son of the former NFL player, is considered one of the top two QBs in the draft. Some mock drafts predict him being selected first overall by the Tennessee Titans.

Shedeur would not be allowed to play for certain teams in the league, according to Coach Prime's recent statement.

Last year, the father-son duo joined Brady on his "Let's Go" podcast. Sanders recently stated that the "only way" he would consider an NFL job is "to coach my sons."

Travis Hunter, a future Heisman Trophy winner, followed the Pro Football Hall of Famer to Colorado ahead of the 2023 season.

The Raiders have scheduled interviews with Pete Carroll and Robert Saleh for their open head coaching job, in addition to Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson, and Steve Spagnuolo.

Las Vegas owns the sixth pick in the NFL Draft.
