Leave it to Deion Sanders to drop a mini bombshell packed within an opinion. According to the Pro Football Hall of Famer, former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman hadn’t spoken in months in the lead-up to both men being fired last Monday.
“[Me and Zimmer talked]. We spoke the other day. He and the durn GM hadn’t spoken in months, and it was just a downward spiral,” Sanders said, during an appearance on Barstool Sports’ The Pro Football Show.
Even an outsider could tell it wasn’t all sugar and rainbows within the Vikings organization considering how badly the team has underachieved in recent seasons.
