With Mike McCarthy out of the picture, Deion Sanders was quickly linked to the head coaching vacancy of the Dallas Cowboys.

Multiple reports on Monday night indicated that Sanders had been in communication with Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones regarding the recently-vacated position. McCarthy's contract expires on Tuesday and the two sides failed to reach an agreement over a new deal, thus opening the head coaching gig in Dallas for the first time since 2020.
