The Dallas Cowboys made two major moves this week that sent shockwaves through the NFL. The first one was parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. The second was speaking with Colorado's Deion Sanders about the vacant position.

On Monday night, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter named two former Cowboys players who could be in the hunt for the job in Big D. They fit a route owner Jerry Jones has gone before with former head coach Jason Garrett.

NFL insider Adam Schefter added another person to the list of potential new Dallas Cowboys head coaches. Besides Deion Sanders, Schefter said that former All-Pro tight end Jason Witten could find his way back to AT&T Stadium this offseason.

It's easy to understand why the Cowboys are an attractive destination for Sanders. The former defensive back starred for the franchise from 1995-99, winning a Super Bowl. Ending its 29-year championship drought would augment the Pro Football Hall of Famer's legacy.

The Cowboys requested an interview for Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore per NFL insider Adam Schefter. "Cowboys now have requested permission to interview Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their head coaching job, per source," said Schefter on X.
