Shilo Sanders’ Bankruptcy Could Be Avoided, Says Former Injured Party

Shilo Sanders faces a trial on whether his bankruptcy will wipe out an $11.89 million civil verdict. Former plaintiff John Darjean claims the case could have been settled for far less if his father, Deion Sanders, had handled it differently.

Shilo Sanders, a free‑agent safety, is set to try in court on August 31 to determine if his bankruptcy will discharge a nearly $12 million judgment against him. The judgment stems from a lawsuit filed over a 2015 altercation in which Darjean was punched and elbowed by Sanders. Darjean said he would have accepted a much smaller settlement if Deion Sanders had approached the matter more conciliatory, rather than labeling him a "grifter" in a 2016 interview. esporist.org
