Cowboys Rumors: Jason Garrett Won't Get Contract Extension Before Next Season

Although the Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East for the third time in the past five seasons, head coach Jason Garrett reportedly won't receive a contract extension this offseason.

According to ESPN's Todd Archer (h/t Adam Schefter), Garrett will start the 2019 season with only one year remaining on his contract. 

Garrett signed a five-year extension with the Cowboys worth $30 million in 2015. After going 4-12 in the first year of that deal, he's posted three consecutive winning seasons that includes two division titles (2016, 2018) and one playoff victory this season. 

Rumors of a contract extension for Garrett picked up steam after the Cowboys' Wild Card Game victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Jan. 12 the Cowboys "know for sure" Garrett is their long-term coach and intended to start negotiations on a long-term extension after their season ended. 

The Cowboys have since made one significant change to the coaching staff. Kellen Moore is replacing Scott Linehan as offensive coordinator and will call plays after serving as their quarterbacks coach in 2018. 

Since taking over as Dallas' head coach midway through the 2010 season, Garrett's 77 wins rank second in franchise history, behind Tom Landry (250).
