Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Makes Sweeping Change; Secret Bidding War With Eagles Coming?
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a significant change to his schedule Tuesday that could mean even bigger changes are coming this offseason. Head coach Mike McCarthy was put on the hot seat before their postseason loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round.
With Bill Billick available as a free agent, Jones could replace McCarthy with a six-time Super Bowl winner. The Cowboys aren’t the only team trying to land Belichick. After reports surfaced that the Atlanta Falcons interviewed Belichick Monday night, Jones must act quickly to hire the legendary head coach.

It is expected that things will get ugly for the Dallas Cowboys here as the offseason settles in. Another 12-5 record and yet another shocking playoff flop will do that for a team. Mike McCarthy and the coaching staff should be in for a rough few weeks. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the front office should be in for a rough few weeks. And the team’s accountants should be in for a rough few months. That last bit could mean that some of the higher-ticket items on the Cowboys roster—namely wide receiver Michael Gallup—will be in for a rough time, too.
Gallup was emblematic of all that went wrong for the Cowboys this season. He was a major disappointment during the season, with 34 catches and just 418 yards, the fewest of his career. He posted shiny numbers in the loss t the Packers (six catches and 103 yards) but did not make a catch until the Packers were down, 20-0, and had only two first-half catches for 25 yards.
Now, with the Cowboys facing a massive payroll crunch, Gallup could be on the firing line. That’s the sentiment from Bleacher Report this week, which tabbed the Cowboys players most likely to be “cap casualties” and had Gallup at the top of the list for the Cowboys.
