Jason Garrett, a hot commodity? That’s what Jerry Jones thinks.
If you remember the status of the Dallas Cowboys when they were falling towards their 3-5 record early on in the season, you remember all of the talk about Jason Garrett’s job.

We’re in an era where teams want to pair their young quarterback with someone who they feel to be a bright mind that can take their signal caller to the next level. Consider that the New York Jets just hired Adam Gase right after the Miami Dolphins let him go, Gase’s supposed ability to develop quarterbacks is what got him the job. Garrett could have been in a similar boat (Jerry also joked on The Fan that he wanted a bigger boat, oh Jerry).
If you don’t buy that logic maybe the word of one of the NFL’s top insiders will convince you. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport... Jerry is correct.
Who would have thought?
