Coach McCarthy Heads to Free Agency Tomorrow

Here’s an unexpected turn of events: head coach Mike McCarthy of the Cowboys is about to become a free agent. His contract ends tomorrow, and starting then, other teams can chat with him. The Bears, for example, have been waiting to talk to him. And guess what? There haven’t been any discussions between McCarthy and the Cowboys yet, which is a bit odd, given they had a special window to do so. Why is this happening? Well, maybe the Cowboys have given McCarthy a deal that’s take-it-or-leave-it. But who knows? McCarthy’s agent, Don Yee, might have something up his sleeve to make the Cowboys think twice. Besides the Bears, the Saints are also interested in McCarthy, if he decides to test the free agent waters. This puts both McCarthy and the Cowboys in a tricky spot. McCarthy needs to decide if he takes the offer on the table or risks getting nothing. The Cowboys, on the other hand, have to consider whether they sweeten the deal to keep him. Interestingly, after McCarthy becomes a free agent, either side could change their mind. But there’s a chance one of them might wake up too late, missing out on a great opportunity.
