A rumor from SI.com suggests that the Dallas Cowboys may be preparing to offer a substantial contract to Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
The speculation claims that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been highly impressed with Johnson’s offensive strategies, especially after witnessing the Lions’ dominant 47-9 victory over Dallas earlier this season.
Sources familiar with the situation report that Jones is so impressed by Johnson’s work that he is willing to offer him one of the highest-paid head coaching positions in the NFL, should Johnson decide to leave Detroit.
Although this is still only a rumor at this point, it is believed that Jones would be prepared to meet Johnson’s financial expectations in order to make him the Cowboys’ next head coach.
At this time, it is uncertain whether Johnson will remain with the Lions or pursue opportunities elsewhere.
However, talk of Dallas’ interest in him is intensifying. For now, fans of the Lions can only wait and watch to see how this potential coaching move develops.
The hope remains that Johnson will choose to stay in Detroit, given his success with the team and the strong rapport he has built, ensuring his continued presence as part of the Lions’ coaching staff.
