Despite numerous reports of their interest in Will McClay, the Carolina Panthers never officially extended an interview request to the Dallas Cowboys big-wig. Well, now we know why.
As reported by ESPN’s Todd Archer on Friday afternoon, the Cowboys’ vice president of player personnel will remain the Cowboys’ vice president of player personnel. McClay, who is “very happy” in Dallas, will not interview with other organizations for their respective general manager jobs this offseason.
The 57-year-old has been with the Cowboys since 2003. In addition to his current role, he’s also served as a scout, the pro scouting coordinator, the director of football research, the assistant director of player personnel and the senior director of scouting.
This past Monday, the Panthers announced that they requested interviews with eight individuals for their general manager position. McClay, who had been linked to the franchise by a handful of reporters, was not included on their list.
McClay did receive requests from the Los Angeles Chargers and the Washington Commanders, who are now set to hire San Francisco 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters for their opening.
