Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on the possible extension on Sunday morning.
During the December League Meeting in Dallas, NFL.com asked Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, if he thought the team’s success would lead to McCarthy receiving a contract extension. Yes, it seemed to be saying, Rapoport writes.
Jones said to Rapoport, “That’ll have a course that seeks its own time frame. I don’t do anything of that sort until the season is over.”
McCarthy’s contract is valid through the 2024–2025 season.
The veteran head coach is anticipated to be absent from Sunday’s Cowboys game against the Buffalo Bills due to recent appendix surgery.
Under McCarthy, the Cowboys have a 1-2 playoff record and are 30-20 in their 50 games played since 2020.
The San Francisco 49ers have already secured the top seed and the highly sought-after first-round playoff bye, and the Cowboys are attempting to secure the second spot in the NFC playoff race.
Regarding his team’s push for the playoffs, McCarthy stated on Friday, “There’s nothing to juggle.” “You have no control over the other elements of it. We must defeat Buffalo. We’ll look around and things will become a little clearer when we’re at 11 wins.
The 60-year-old McCarthy, a Homestead, Pennsylvania native, led the Green Bay Packers to victory in Super Bowl XLV during his 12-season tenure as head coach.
