Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys split up on Monday after five seasons together, as the two parties couldn't agree to a contract extension.
It's becoming clear that the reason McCarthy left the Cowboys stems from disagreements that arose during negotiations on a potential new deal. NFL Network's Jane Slater added more context on Monday, sharing that she's spoken with some of McCarthy's staff who explained that McCarthy and the Cowboys not agreeing on a contract length put his staffers at a "disadvantage" as they looked to plan their futures.
