Mike McCarthy's contract with the Dallas Cowboys is set to expire in less than a week, on Jan. 14. Without a new deal in place, the Cowboys have operated as if they will bring McCarthy back and stay put at head coach.
On Tuesday, the Cowboys denied a request from the Chicago Bears to interview McCarthy for their head coaching vacancy. Now one day later, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that talks between McCarthy and the Cowboys are ongoing, a sign they want to continue to work together.
