Jason Garrett reportedly bid farewell to Cowboys players after missing out on playoffs

Jason Garrett bore a look of a man resigned to his fate when addressing the media after the Dallas Cowboys registered a 31-point victory over the Washington Redskins in Week 17. However, the Cowboys' Week 16 loss to the Eagles handed the NFC East crown to the Philadelphia Eagles, which ultimately meant that the Cowboys missed out on the playoffs for the sixth time in Jason Garrett’s nine-year tenure as head coach. With Jerry Jones refusing to delve into Jason Garrett's future after the game against the Washington Redskins, Jason Garrett appears to have one foot out of the AT&T Stadium. He reportedly confirmed as much, according to NFL Network’s Jane Slater.
