The Dallas Cowboys have come under fire for how Jerry Jones has handled the contracts of his key players. Quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and edge rusher Micah Parsons have yet to receive a contract extension, and the organisation is apparently “nowhere near” extending them.
To exacerbate matters, a recent story claims that head coach Mike McCarthy is “fed up” with Jones’ incessant undermining of him. Rich Eisen, a longtime NFL insider, brought up the report and provided additional information.
According to Eisen, a former Cowboys personnel officer commented on McCarthy and Jones’ connection, saying, “It’s weird what’s going on, and it never really changes… Mike McCarthy is doing the best he can. Some of the folks I’ve spoken with have suggested he’s ‘fed up with it a little bit.'”
According to Eisen, the quote is clearly the “juicy” component of this article, and it is mostly hearsay. However, he also states that if the claim is true and McCarthy is becoming frustrated, “Can you blame him?”
According to Eisen, McCarthy had to go home and explain to his family that he had no idea what would happen to him the following year, which was understandable irritation. Jones, like the Cowboys’ key players, has not extended his head coach or the majority of McCarthy’s staff.
Back in April, Jones spoke to reporters about the franchise extending players like Prescott and Lamb, to which Jones gave a vague answer that held no semblance of hope. Jones stated, “We’d like to see more leaves fall.”
