The Dallas Cowboys parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy on Monday after five seasons. McCarthy wrapped up the final year of his contract at the end of the regular season, and the two sides did not come to an agreement on a new deal.

The relationship between New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his former head coach Mike McCarthy was once thought to be irreparable. Now, those old thoughts appear to be nothing more than the perspective of outside noise and not the reality of what either side dealt with.

I think everybody understands that it’s gonna come down to a GM and a coach and myself and whether we all want to do a dance together or if it’s not in the cards,” Rodgers said in his first public comments since the Jets’ regular-season finale on Jan.
