The Dallas Cowboys have extended the contract of Will McClay, vice president of player personnel, who has been pivotal in the team's recent draft successes. Since taking over the personnel department in 2014, McClay has facilitated the drafting of 15 Pro Bowl players, the most in the NFL, including notable names like Zack Martin and Dak Prescott. His expertise was crucial in fending off interest from other teams for general manager positions. McClay's long history with the Cowboys dates back to 2002, reinforcing his deep ties to the organization.
With Brian Schottenheimer in place as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, the organization has locked up a key piece of their front office, agreeing to a multi-year extension with vice president of player personnel Will McClay.
McClay's contract was set to expire after the draft and teams had inquired about his services for general manager jobs, but he has opted to remain with the Cowboys.
He has run the Cowboys' personnel department since 2014 and has played a part in bringing in 15 Pro Bowl players through the draft, the most in the league in that time.
In 2014, he took over the draft process and immediately hit on right guard Zack Martin, who has been selected to nine Pro Bowls, in the first round and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, a four-time Pro Bowler, in the second round.
