Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones expressed his belief Tuesday that head coach Mike McCarthy's contract situation is unrelated to the team's on-field play.
During an appearance on Shan & RJ on Audacy's 105.3 The Fan (beginning at the 21:22 mark), Jones downplayed the notion that the Cowboys' results magnify McCarthy's contractual standing in any way, saying:
"I don't think where he is with his contract has anything to do with [the Week 1 win at] Cleveland, where we were giving accolades out to him and [defensive coordinator Mike] Zimmer or how we played Sunday.
