Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy appears to be positioning himself for potential free agency by hiring well-known sports agent Don Yee, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Yee represents high-profile figures such as Jim Harbaugh, Sean Payton, and Tom Brady.
This strategic move comes as McCarthy enters the last season of his current contract with the Cowboys, with the possibility of an extension still open.
However, there are indications that team owner Jerry Jones has specific reservations about offering him a new contract.

Under McCarthy’s leadership, the Cowboys have posted a 12-5 record over the last three seasons, but they have secured only one playoff win during this period.
The upcoming 2024 season could be crucial for McCarthy’s future with the team, either securing an extension or possibly moving on.
With Yee’s track record of securing lucrative deals for his clients, like Harbaugh with the Los Angeles Chargers and Payton with the Denver Broncos, McCarthy is preparing for all outcomes, whether it means staying in Dallas or exploring options elsewhere.
