Sanders says he's in discussions with Raiders
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Deion Sanders is discussing coming out of retirement to join the Oakland Raiders for the playoffs
"I may come back to a playoff team," he said Sunday on CBS Sports' "NFL Today," where he's a studio host. "I've made contact, I have spoken to my attorney, we have spoken to the Oakland Raiders."
The Raiders confirmed Sunday that the club has contacted Sanders about possibly coming out of retirement. Sanders' agent Eugene Parker told ESPN there was no offer made by the Raiders and that talks were in the preliminary stages. Sanders, a cornerback, retired after the 2000 season and 11 years in the NFL
Raiders senior assistant Bruce Allen told ESPN on Sunday that Sanders is not available because he is still on the Washington Redskins' reserve list. When reached, a spokesman for the Redskins said Sanders is not on the Redskins reserve list and is retired. .....moreComment

I think it's an excellent solution to getting him out of the studio.Comment

I'd run the ball right at him 50 times a game. He never did tackle a runner in the open field.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.Comment

Safeties-turned-corners keep Broncos in check
By John Clayton
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Cornerback Charles Woodson limped along the sidelines wearing a warm stocking cap and a painful grin. Cornerback Tory James took time away from rehabbing his broken leg to watch. Safety Derrick Gibson gutted it out on a bad ankle and refused to come off the field.
For cornerbacks against the Broncos, all the Raiders had were Terrance Shaw and Clarence Love. More safeties played in the nickel than cornerbacks. Do the Raiders need Deion Sanders? Does a starving man need a burger? You bet the Raiders could use another cornerback. If Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes want to come out of retirement, they'd sign them up in a second.
"We need help," Woodson said following the 28-16 AFC West division-clinching victory Sunday over the Broncos. "Everybody in our secondary is banged up. If trying to get Prime Time helps us win a Super Bowl, why would I have a problem with that?"....

Steelers, Titans block Raiders' attempt
The Raiders will not land Deion Sanders.
At least two teams -- the Steelers and Titans -- put in waiver claims on Sanders before the 4 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline, ESPN.com's John Clayton reports.
The Broncos and Patriots also were considering putting in a claim. The Raiders, with a 10-5 record, are higher-seeded than all four of those teams, so Oakland would not have a shot since claims are awarded in inverse order of NFL standing.
The team that gets Sanders can simply put him on its reserved-retired list, if it so chooses......
