The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have shown a surprising flip-flop move involving Shilo Sanders! According to The Sporting News, the team has waived Sanders. But hold your horses, NFL fans — Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio revealed there’s still hope! He said Sanders might return to the Buccaneers, possibly joining their practice squad after clearing waivers. Why this sudden drama? It all started on a heated Saturday night preseason game, August 23, when Sanders got kicked out for throwing a punch at Bills tight end Zach Davidson. This wasn’t just a random act; the punch sparked old talks about past violence involving Sanders. Mike Florio shared some inside scoop: "We’re told that the Buccaneers enjoyed having Shilo in the building, viewing the son of Deion Sanders as a good kid, who was at all times respectful to everyone. Shilo was also immediately remorseful following the incident that disqualified him from the second quarter of the game against the Bills." He added, "Sanders could, in theory, sign with the Bucs’ practice squad, after clearing waivers. The bigger question is whether he’s good enough to compete and to play at the NFL level." Before this punch fiasco, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles had nice words for Sanders during the preseason. But after the punch, Bowles came down hard: "You can’t throw punches in this league, that’s inexcusable," Bowles said, as reported by the New York Post. "They’re going to get you every time. You’ve got to grow from that." Then, ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke more news on August 24, revealing Sanders’ release from the Bucs. He also mentioned that Sanders’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, sent a clear message to the other 31 NFL teams about Sanders’ future, hoping he gets picked up by some team. Schefter shared on X, "Buccaneers informed rookie safety Shilo Sanders today that he is being waived, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, who added, 'we're hoping he gets claimed on waivers.'" So, will Shilo Sanders bounce back like a true warrior on the NFL battlefield? Only time will tell! For now, this chapter is filled with punches thrown, chances lost, but maybe a surprise comeback waiting in the wings.
