Vikings’ fallback for Brian Flores could be gone before they need him

While the Minnesota Vikings continue to negotiate with Brian Flores to return for another season as the team's defensive coordinator, one of their assumed backup plans for him is also drawing interest from another team.

ESPN's Todd Archer shared on Thursday that the Dallas Cowboys have reportedly put in a request to meet with current Vikings defensive backs coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

In addition, the New York Jets have done the same thing and made a request to meet with Jones about their own defensive coordinator opening, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
