Damn, we lost out on Deion because he gave his word elsewhere when we may have offered more money in the long run. DAMN. 1994 would have been PRIME.

I remember when that happened, but the reports in the media then weren't quite like Sanders says it was now. He said then, as I recall, Miami offered more money, but he signed with SF because he thought they had a better chance to go to the Super Bowl. He took just a 1 yr deal with the 49ers too, as I recall.

I remember this as well, it really hurt to watch him go to the 49ers. I was constantly watching the news and reading the Herald (that was life before the internet and Twitter) hoping to see Sanders holding up a Phins jersey. Never happened...then he had a monster year that season and won a ring :(

WTF ? Why talk about something that ALMOST happened almost 20 years ago. :pity:
-
I remember he even held a press conference while he was here.
We all thought we were gonna get him!

20 years ago is better than right now. Hell, better than the past decade. -

Best Damn Corner I ever saw. Mainly cause he was so bloody fast! He could make a bad mistake recover while the ball was in the air and take it back for 6 like it was no big deal! Only thing I'll add he was the WORST Tackler I've ever seen as well.

Remember when he played for the Braves early in the day and flew down to Miami later to play the Dolphins when he was a Falcon.
No way that is an artificial memory.....
Someone may be able to elaborate... -

Deion Sanders demand respect and got it, and made you pay dearly for your mistakes. Best shut down corner ever.
-
He used to arrive in a helicopter for those games sometimes.
There were two matchups I used to live for in the mid-'90s.
One was when Reggie White was gonna face Erik Williams.
The other was Deion vs Jerry Rice. -
Deion was arguably one of the greatest athletes in all of pro-sports.
-
San Francisco offered Deion more money because Deion said so. Deion goes for the money.
In 1996, a reporter asked Jimmy Johnson what would he have done if the Dolphins would have signed him, JJ responded, "I'd cut him".
Deion was a very good cover corner, a great punt returner, but he was Sh!t when it came to contact. Biggest puss ever to play in the NFL. -
The question is whether he would've made a difference against the Chargers in the 2nd half...
IMHO I think if he was playing CB for us, that game wouldnt of come down to Stoyo and we would've gone on to play Pittsburg. -

It's just awesome that you can find out info on **** you couldn't find out about 20 years ago in a blink of an eye using twitter. This is still news to me, at the time we thought Deion was gonna be a Dolphin. FU 49ers.
