Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn wasn’t interested in any of the head coaching job offers he got in the offseason. But it turns out he would have left Dallas anyway if Mike McCarthy had only said the word. Quinn not wanting to be a distraction to his head coach is just part of the story leading today’s News and Notes.
Elsewhere, a recap of Tuesday’s practice in Oxnard, including an injury report, the apparent scrapping of any plans to bring in wide receiver help, and the kicker competition that can’t get off on the right foot. Trysten Hill may finally prove the Cowboys right for being patient with him, Cole Beasley doesn’t figure to be in the Cowboys’ plans for a reason you may not expect, and a top-tier defensive talent would still make a fine match for the Dallas line. All that, plus a new PR man for the front office, and Cowboys Wire goes one-on-one with linebacker Leighton Vander Esch as he preps for just his fifth season while juggling the responsibility of already being one of the locker room mentors.
