Sean Payton Says It's a Good Idea to Call Cowboys' Mike McCarthy amid Rumors About HC

Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy apparently doesn't have to watch over his shoulder for Sean Payton potentially taking his job.

Payton told PFT Live he hasn't spoken to McCarthy since retiring, but he might reach out to put McCarthy's mind at ease (h/t Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk):

"You know what, it’s a good idea because I felt like it took place for a while with Jason Garrett, a good friend of mine who I coached with at the Giants. Still a close friend to this day, and I consider Mike someone who's a close friend.
