Cowboys Agree With Playcaller Scott Linehan

By Mike Fisher | @fishsports

IRVING (105.3 THE FAN) -- There are a lot of at-bats left to go in the just-started Dallas Cowboys offseason. But Jerry and Stephen Jones are so far batting 1.000.

The front office closed its three-day window of exclusive negotiating rights with coaches late Wednesday by agreeing with offensive boss Scott Linehan on an extension.

This completes the third leg of a critical stage for Dallas, as he'll remain at Valley Ranch along with just-re-signed head coach Jason Garrett and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.

Linehan was technically the "passing game coordinator" last season after coming to Dallas with a one-year contract. With the expected departure of Bill Callahan, Linehan will likely get both a raise and an elevation in title as the offensive coordinator.
