Jerry Jones shared insights on the Cowboys’ decision to part ways with Mike McCarthy after contract talks fell through

Dallas: Jerry Jones recently spoke about the Cowboys’ decision to let go of Mike McCarthy. He praised McCarthy for his work but felt it was time to move on.
News hit on Monday that McCarthy wouldn’t be back after the two sides couldn’t agree on a new contract. Jones emphasized his respect for McCarthy and acknowledged their joint review of the past season.
During this review, they discussed the team’s future and realized it was best for both to part ways. Jones thanked McCarthy and his family for their contributions to the community.
McCarthy hasn’t commented yet, but he had a solid record of 49-35 over five seasons. He led the Cowboys to the playoffs three times, but they only won one postseason game.
This past season was tough, with a 7-10 record, partly due to injuries to quarterback Dak Prescott. Speculation about McCarthy’s future grew as the season progressed.
Now that he’s a free agent, other teams like the Bears and Saints are expected to show interest in him. It’ll be interesting to see where he lands next.
