Per Marchand, the NFLN wanted Deion to take a pay cut.
John Ourand of Sports Business Daily had reported that Sanders had earlier agreed to a new deal, but then decided to leave the network.
“Deion has been one of the key figures responsible for the growth of the NFL Network,” the NFL Network said in a statement. “We thank him for his work and wish him the best in the future.”
Then Deion came out of a three-season retirement to spend two years with the Ravens. This time he can try to get into coaching at the college level. He tried, without fail, to make himself a serious candidate for the job at Florida State in January. He later promised that, come 2021, he will be head coach at the college.
