DEION Sanders shared a simple reaction concerning the Tennessee Titans firing general manager Ran Carthon on Tuesday.
There has now been speculation that Tuesday’s decision from the Titans could influence where Deion’s son, expected top NFL Draft pick Shedeur Sanders, will end up in the professional league this April.

The Titans decided to fire Carthon after a disaster 3-14 season.
The team has chosen to retain head coach Brian Callahan, and President of Football Operations Chad Brinker will have control of the team’s personnel decisions and roster moves.
Minutes after Tennesee announced the transactions, the Colorado Buffaloes head coach Sanders shared a statement over the news.
“WOW!” he wrote along with a side-eye emoji on X.

Sanders appeared to be shocked by the move.
He is the coach of the potential No. 1 overall picks Travis Hunter and his son, Shedeur.
And it just so happens that the Titans own the No. 1 overall pick thanks to their brutal campaign.
Tennesee went 9-25 during Carthon’s tenure.
The team is positioned to draft a quarterback after receiving disappointing results from 2023 second-round pick Will Levis over the last two seasons.
However, unfortunately for the Sanders father-and-son duo, NFL insider Benjamin Allbright reporters earlier this week that the Titans were “rumored to love Cam Ward” as their selection.
The Miami Hurricanes product Ward is coming off a season in which he threw 39 passing touchdowns against seven interceptions.
The 21-year-old Shedeur wasn’t too shabby either, passing for 37 touchdowns along with 10 interceptions.
Still, the decision will ultimately be up to Carthon’s replacement.
The head coach Callahan went through a similar situation when he was the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, who held the No. 1 pick in 2020.
The Bengals would draft Joe Burrow, and wide receiver star Tee Higgins, among others.
There likely won’t be too much time for Callahan to figure it out, however,
Tennessee sided with Carthon last season after an apparent power struggle with Mike Vrabel, who wanted more authority over personnel.
The franchise fired Vrabel with a .545 winning percentage and has now let go of their general manager a year later.
