The 1-year extension prevents him from going to Dallas next year in case they fire Jason Garrett

 

You know Jimmy Johnson is going to throw a boatload of $$ at Gus to entice him to come to Dallas for the 2017 season.  He's had his eye on Gus since we beat the Dolphins in week 2.  I'd even go as far to say there may be some evidence of tampering going on right now.  We should try to lock up Gus through the 2020 season if we can because you know if the Cowboys are calling, it's only going to be a matter of time before the Redskins come knocking.
