Cowboys losing an important member of the team is looking increasingly likely with latest news
The Dallas Cowboys position coach keeps getting interviews from around the NFL.
As the Dallas Cowboys work to revamp their defensive coaching staff, the offensive side of it may be about to suffer a significant loss. It was to be expected considering the Brian Schottenheimer-led staff produced a Top 5 scoring offense in his first year as head coach of the team.
With the latest coaching update from around the league, losing an important coach is looking increasingly likely for the Cowboys. Let’s dive in.
Cowboys TE coach Lunda Wells is on fire
Make that three offensive coordinator interviews for Cowboys TE coach Lunda Wells. The latest team to be interested in him is the New York Jets, who are already overhauling their staff in Aaron Glenn’s second year as head coach.
Wells’ interview with the Jets is happening on Wednesday, per DallasCowboys.com’s Patrik Walker.
Wells is also interviewing for the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator opening, where he could reunite with former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. Wells also interviewed for the Washington Commanders’ earlier in the month, though that opening has been filled already.
Wells is clearly a hot candidate for OC around the league, and that’s largely because of his in-depth knowledge of offense. He has coached tight ends since 2020 but before that, he coached offensive line for the New York Giants, meaning he has experience manning two of the highest-IQ positions in football.
Now granted, Wells leaving isn’t a guarantee. But if either of those two interviews turns into an offer, it would make plenty of sense for Wells.
Cowboys future intriguing at TE
A potential Wells departure would surely hurt for the Cowboys, or at minimum it would raise questions around the tight end position. Jake Ferguson is entering a critical year on the heels of signing a $52 million deal. Though he’s been a reliable catcher, Ferguson’s knack for yards after the catch has diminished.
Meanwhile, Brevyn Spann-Ford had a very promising second year in the NFL and could rise into a solid TE2. Additionally, former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker needs a good year before hitting free agency in 2023.
