Cowboys news: Saturday playoff results could delay defensive coordinator search
"With the Broncos beating the Bills 33-30 in overtime, Broncos pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard will continue to coach in the postseason, which means he can't be hired by the Cowboys nor any other team. Leonhard is one of the nine known candidates for the defensive coordinator opening in Dallas, and he's seen as one of the favorites. If the Cowboys want to move quick, they'll have to hire someone not named Leonhard, however."
"Every draft, there's one player I end up defending more than anyone else. This year, that player is Gabe Jacas, and he's quietly one of my favorite EDGE fits for the Dallas Cowboys. Jacas is not perfect, but I can already see how he would be used on Sundays. He isn't showing up on a lot of highlight reels, he's not a guy people argue about on draft night."
Denver's overtime win over Buffalo ensures Broncos pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard remains in postseason duty, preventing his hiring and delaying the Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator search for at least another week. Leonhard ranks among nine known candidates and is considered a favorite, so Dallas would need to hire an alternative for a quick replacement. Gabe Jacas stands out as a sleeper EDGE prospect for Dallas; he consistently wins snaps through discipline, strong play, and finishing ability. Jacas relies on leverage, timing, and effort rather than pure speed or one move, and his skills project well to NFL roles.
