Saturday's ejection was the least of Shilo's concerns on Sunday after it was announced the 25-year-old safety had been released by the Bucs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, who also noted that Sanders' agent Drew Rosenhaus seemingly sent an urgent message to the other 31 teams regarding his client's NFL future.

That said, if he clears waivers, the Buccaneers could, theoretically, still sign Sanders to their practice squad. Be it in Tampa Bay or otherwise, that would be the likely next course of action for Sanders, regardless. Put another way: Sanders has a long way to go before he can even think about making noise for an NFL team.
