FYI Jason Garrett's contract w/ DAL expires today

FranknWeezer : 1/14/2020 10:16 am
Guess we should find out soon enough if that means anything to NYG.
Garrett's contract expires Jan. 14 - ( New Window )
If Garrett was fired why would Giants have to wait until

He was never fired officially

He hasn't been fired. The Cowboys are just letting his contract expire.
For all we know he could have been offered a different position in

the Cowboys company (which is the rumour), and he is deciding. I'd love to get him as our OC
Not for nothing, but you always hear about the Giants never

letting a contract run out. If they fire someone, the coach/exec has at least one year left. I think it shows somewhat of an appreciation and it's a severance package, if you will.

It's been pretty much confirmed that Jones wanted Garrett to take another position in the organization, but JG turned him down. It wouldn't surprise me if Jones refused an Giant requests to interview him before his contract expiration.

He wouldn't be my first choice, but he's been a decent OC, and would be a good ear for Judge.
Dallas didn’t want to fire Garrett.

Then they would be on the hook if Garrett filed for unemployment.
For all the handle with care approach,,,

that Jerry was supposedly taking with Garrett, this is just very awkward.
Regardless

Garrett may have been waiting to see if he has any Head Coaching opportunities (even in college football) before deciding to take an OC job. Now that the Browns hired a HC, I assume we'll know pretty soon, unless he's looking at college HC gigs.

I suppose he could always sit out the year and "reinvent himself" like his successor McCarthy did, but JG doesn't strike me as a guy to sit idly by. Maybe I'm wrong.

Garrett doesn't have any damning stories about him being lazy and complacent coming out like McCarthy did, so he probably doesn't need to reinvent himself.
When today does it expire?

Contracts are guaranteed though. Firing them and still paying them while letting them get a jumpstart on their next stop is also convenient.

The Jones/Garrett thing is an outlier and pretty weird.
The one reason I am skeptical of Garrett being OC  
Section331 : 1/14/2020 2:25 pm : link
is that they gave the AHC spot to Graham. I would have thought they would hold it out for a former HC if they were intent on hiring him.

Yeah, that's my point. The Giants never a contract just "expire"
