The Buccaneers released Sanders the following day . He had signed with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado, where he played under his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. Sanders was competing for a role on the 53-man roster or a spot on the practice squad.
After his release, Sanders posted a farewell message on his YouTube channel, expressing gratitude to the organization.
"My time being up here with the Buccaneers has been nothing but great. You know, this city, my teammates, my coaches, everybody has shown love and support towards me, and I'll be forever grateful for that. I truly just want to say I appreciate everyone for everything. I've had the best time up here in Tampa," Sanders said.
The Buccaneers will open their regular season on Sept. 7 against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
