The Atlanta Falcons have offered Deion Sanders an extra $1 million if he will leave the Atlanta Braves early and report for a football mini-camp on July 13, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The salary enhancement would be reduced to about $800,000 if Sanders reported for the beginning of formal training camp on July 25.

Sanders, an outfielder with the Braves and a Pro Bowl cornerback with the Falcons, is under contract with the Braves through July 31. The Braves also have expressed an interest in extending Sanders’ contract if he will give up football.

Sanders’ lawyer, Eugene Parker of Fort Wayne, Ind., said he will consult with Sanders today.
