In a stunning move, the Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy, sources confirm. The decision comes after a disastrous start to the season, with the team currently sitting at 2-5.
But that’s not all – star quarterback Dak Prescott has reportedly demanded a trade, citing a toxic team culture and lack of trust in the front office. Prescott, who signed a $160 million contract extension last year, is said to be “fed up” with the team’s dysfunction.
“This is a dark day for Cowboys Nation,” said team owner Jerry Jones. “We appreciate Mike’s contributions, but we felt a change was necessary. As for Dak, we’re working to resolve the situation and keep him in Dallas.”
Fans are already taking to social media to express their shock and outrage:
“Fire the entire front office! This is a joke!” – @CowboysFan4Life
“Can’t believe they’re getting rid of McCarthy! He’s not the problem!” – @Dallas_DieHard
“Trade Dak? Are they insane?! He’s our franchise QB!” – @Prescotts_Pride
The Cowboys’ locker room is said to be in disarray, with players divided on the moves.

Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb expressed his support for Dak Prescott, saying, “Dak is our leader, and we stand behind him. If he wants out, something’s wrong. We need to fix it.”
Linebacker Micah Parsons took to Twitter to vent his frustrations: “Can’t believe the front office would do this to us. We’re a team, or at least we’re supposed to be. #FireTheGM”
Meanwhile, former Cowboys players are weighing in on the situation:
“I told you so,” said outspoken former wide receiver Dez Bryant. “The Cowboys’ front office has no clue what they’re doing. Dak deserves better.”
