Shilo Sanders' CFL Negotiating Rights Acquired by Argonauts, Joins Shedeur on List

After being waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rookie safety Shilo Sanders has a potential home in the CFL.

The Toronto Argonauts announced on Monday that they've acquired the exclusive CFL negotiating rights for Sanders. His brother, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, is also on the Argonauts' negotiation list.

In a release, the Argonauts explained, "Each CFL team maintains a Negotiation List of up to 45 players who are currently either unsigned or are playing in the NFL, in another professional league, or in college. Teams hold exclusive CFL negotiating rights with players on their lists, and those players can be added, traded or removed at any time."

Sanders spent the preseason with the Bucs after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. He was competing for the final safety spot behind Antoine Winfield Jr., Tykee Smith and Christian Izien.

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported on Sunday that the Bucs could be open to bringing back Sanders on their practice squad after they cut down to their final 53-man roster by Tuesday's deadline. The 25-year-old has made it clear that his dream is to play in the NFL, but the CFL is now officially a fallback option for him following the Argonauts' announcement.
