FRISCO, Texas -- With the exclusive negotiating window closing Tuesday at midnight, the Dallas Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy have not had any negotiations regarding a new deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
McCarthy would become a free agent as early as 12:01 a.m. Wednesday and the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints are expected to be interested in speaking with him regarding their vacancies. Last week, the Bears had an official request for permission to speak with McCarthy denied by the Cowboys.
The only team that has named a new head coach since the end of the season is the New England Patriots with Mike Vrabel.
