“Whole Sanders Fam Gonne End Up Getting Cut”: Antonio Brown Blasts Deion Sanders’ Boys As Shilo Gets Axed By Buccaneers

Antonio Brown, former NFL wide receiver, reignited a long-running feud with none other than Deion ‘Coach Prime’ Sanders. Brown put out a tweet in reference to Deion Sanders’ son, Shilo Sanders, being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Shilo Sanders, a promising safety for the Bucs, threw a punch at Buffalo Bills tight end, Zach Davidson, during the third preseason game on Saturday. Soon after this, the Buccaneers announced that they were letting go of Sanders and Brown flew in with his attack.

“Whole Sanders fam gonna end up getting cut out the league…” Antonio Brown tweeted about Deion Sanders’ sons.

Antonio Brown previously called out the Sanders family because of all the privileges that Shilo Sanders and Shedeur Sanders were getting in the league as a result of their father. Deion Sanders did directly address this and simply remarked that he wished Brown well.

While Shilo Sanders was not exactly a favorite to make it to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster, fans were hoping to see him earn a spot in the team. However, Sanders’ on-field behavior was unacceptable and the team had to immediately let him go.

“You can’t throw punches in this league – that’s inexcusable. They’re going to get you every time. You’ve got to grow from that.” Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, Todd Bowles, said in the press conference after the preseason finale ended.

In the third preseason game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended up getting thrashed by the Buffalo Bills with a final 23-19 score. The Buccaneers will now be moving on to the 2025 NFL regular season to take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 without Shilo Sanders in their locker room.

Antonio Brown Calls Travis Kelce ‘Gay’ In Latest Post

On another note, Antonio Brown recently took a shot at Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, calling the player ‘gay’. Brown shared a picture of Kelce standing in a barrel, with the word ‘Gay’ next to it, with the whole scene looking quaintly similar to Cracker Barrel’s logo. Travis Kelce has not responded to Brown’s tweet.

This is not the first time that Antonio Brown has taken a shot at Travis Kelce. In the previous season, Brown remarked that Kelce needed to break up with his girlfriend Taylor Swift and get some “black p**sy” as he was clearly struggling in his game. Meanwhile, Kelce will be getting ready for the 2025 NFL campaign with the Kansas City Chiefs.
