He started his career out with the Bears before spending this past season with the Cowboys.
Sanborn, 25, was named first-team All-Big 10 and was a team captain for Wisconsin in 2021. He signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft.
He signed a three-year rookie deal through 2024 and made a base salary of $985k in 2024. The Bears declined to tender Sanborn as a restricted free agent last offseason and he signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys.
In 2025, Sanborn appeared in six games for the Cowboys and recorded 34 total tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection.
