An NFL insider just gave an interesting update on Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores potentially joining the Dallas Cowboys. On NBC’s Football Night in America , Mike Florio said the Dallas Cowboys could try to sign Flores if he doesn’t return to the Vikings next season.

“I spoke to a wide variety of high-level sources yesterday, just to get a feel for what his candidacy will be this time around,” Florio said. “The sense is the defensive scheme is good enough to get him interviews. The question is, when you consider his 3 years with the Miami Dolphins didn’t go well, didn’t end well. There’s still a lawsuit pending, 4 years later, against the league, the Dolphins, and three other teams, so a lot of factors to sift through in determining whether he’s ready to be a head coach again.

“Meanwhile, his contract in Minnesota is about to expire. The Vikings are trying to get it extended. If he would essentially become a free agent, keep an eye on a team like the Dallas Cowboys to maybe try to lure him down to Texas to fix their defense.”
