Tom Brady Addresses Deion Sanders Concerns as Detroit Lions Perplexed With $13 Million Cap Space

It has been quite the last season for the Detroit Lions in the NFL. They finally came off their first winning season since 2017. Along with the head coach Dan Campbell, the team won eight of their final ten games for a record 9-8 season and second place in the NFC North. Coming into the offseason, it is a walk in unfamiliar territory for the Lions. While they are busy bolstering their roster during the traded window, the Lions are in need of a QB to strengthen their team. And there might be a no better option than Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, who is training under NFL GOAT Tom Brady.

Tom Brady has been training Shedeur for a while now, and he may be the perfect QB fit for the Detroit Lions.

Tom Brady addresses Sanders’ concerns

Coach and former NFL player Deion Sanders’s son, Shedeur Sanders, has been under the apprenticeship of Tom Brady for quite a while now. Shedeur has been taking lessons to improve his game at the quarterback position. And who better to train under than the seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB Tom Brady? Brady recently signed Shedeur under his brand name as well. And with the Detroit Lions needing a QB with $13 million cap space in hand, the young Shedeur looks like the most viable draft for the Lions. 

Shedeur has been an excellent player during his college days. He led his former college team, the Jackson State Tigers, to a SWAC Championship in 2021, before joining his father at the Colorado Buffaloes.

And after performing at such a high level during his college days, he will surely be under the radar of NFL teams during the 2023 draft.

Detroit Lions restructuring their team for the 2023 season

Like every other team, the Detroit Lions are also restructuring their roster to continue performing at the level of their previous season in the AFC North division. They have made quite a few notable moves during the free agency and the first week of the trade window. The Lions cut DT Michael Brockers for the team, clearing up $10 million in cap space. They also signed RB David Montgomery to a three-year $18 million deal, with $11 million being guaranteed. 

Apart from this, the Lions also have two first-round picks in the 2023 NFL draft. It will be interesting to see what the Lions will do in order to address their QB needs for the next season.
