Skip Bayless has words for the GOAT regarding Shedeur Sanders

Skip Bayless has taken aim at Tom Brady, accusing the NFL legend of influencing the Las Vegas Raiders to pass on drafting quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft.

According to Bayless, who was once one of Brady’s most vocal supporters, the former quarterback and minority owner of the Raiders may have played a role in the team’s decision. Brady has denied involved in the pre-draft process.

During the draft, Bayless tweeted, “It is now pretty clear Tom Brady who mentored Shedeur – told the Raiders NOT to take Shedeur. Duly noted.”

The Raiders drafted a quarterback in the sixth round and ultimately passed on Sanders. The Colorado Buffaloes standout went to the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round with the No. 144 pick. Given Brady’s part ownership in the franchise, Bayless believes his influence swayed the decision.

Brady addressed the speculation during an appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with Jake Paul, saying he wasn’t involved in any evaluations. “That’s the problem with media,” Brady said. “Everyone can just say whatever the (expletive) they want.”

Bayless fired back at Brady with a 25-minute video on social media. “He condemned the media. He took the cowardly way out,” Bayless said. “Just take me on, I don’t care. I can take it because I’m right.” He insisted that Brady was vague on purpose and challenged him to address him directly.

Despite defending Brady during the Deflategate scandal, Bayless now says he’s losing trust in the seven-time Super Bowl champion. “I said that Belichick was involved if any footballs were underinflated, but not you, Tom. Now, I got to admit, you’re making me wonder,” he added.

Bayless appears to want a direct confrontation with Brady. All centered around Sanders and a draft mystery none of us might never have the facts about.

Shedeur has said he’s ready to compete in Cleveland and even took No. 12, paying homage to Brady.
