More Health Problems for Deion Sanders As Colorado Slides

More health issues could cloud the future of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders. “I think I got more blood clots,” Sanders said Saturday.

More health issues could cloud the future of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.

“Cat’s out the bag, all right?
I think I got more blood clots,” Sanders, 58, said following Saturday’s 35–21 loss to TCU. “It don’t make sense. I’m hurting like crazy.” 

During different points of the game, Sanders sat down, which is not customary for coaches on the sidelines, and he was seen walking without a shoe on his left foot. In 2021, Sanders had two toes on his left foot amputated due to blood clots, and in 2023, he had surgery to address blood clots in both of his feet.

Sanders said he had a doctor’s appointment for Monday to assess the issue. “I’m not getting blood to my legs,” he said. “That’s why my leg is throbbing.” He’s scheduled to meet with reporters for his weekly media time Tuesday.

The blood clot issues are separate from Sanders’s battle with cancer earlier this year, which resulted in his bladder being removed. That medical situation kept Sanders away from the Colorado football team for most of the offseason, but after successful treatment, he said he planned to coach the entire 2025 season as normal.

Prime Problems

Colorado is 2–4 this season, and 0–3 in Big 12 play. 

Sanders is coaching his third season in Boulder, following a five-year, $54 million contract extension he signed in March that makes him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football. He’ll make $10 million in 2025, with his salary set to increase to $12 million by 2029. Sanders would owe Colorado money only if he stepped down to take another coaching job ($12 million this year, and $10 million in 2026).

The Buffaloes are 15–16 under Sanders, who took over the program in 2023.
