It’s an earnings stratosphere that’s as small as it is elite — a subset that as of Saturday included Coach Prime; Georgia’s Kirby Smart, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Texas’ Steve Sarkisian, USC’s Lincoln Riley, Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer, North Carolina’s Bill Belichick, and, if we’re counting deferred money, Oregon’s Dan Lanning.

Deion Sanders seemed like a legitimate candidate for the Dallas Cowboys head coaching job, but he ultimately kept his current position at Colorado this offseason. On The Skip Bayless Show on Wednesday, Sanders said that Jerry Jones showed interest and still has interest in him, but Jones never officially offered him the job.

One insider says it's not outside the realm of possibility that the Cowboys could trade the farm for their next Deion Sanders.

The Dallas Cowboys reportedly may be looking for a way to move up and select one of the top talents in the 2025 NFL draft. During a conversation on her Scoop City podcast, Dianna Russini of The Athletic said she has been told Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones "really likes" Colorado wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter.
