So, Bears fans, how do you feel about Mike McCarthy? [View all]

This is not a done deal, but where there's smoke, there may be fire!

Jerry Jones' timeframe on whether to keep Mike McCarthy as Dallas Cowboys coach could be affected by the Chicago Bears.

Multiple sources said the Bears have sought permission to speak with McCarthy regarding their head coaching vacancy. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Cowboys have yet to respond to the request.

McCarthy's contract expires Wednesday, but the Cowboys hold exclusive negotiating rights through Jan. 14. After that McCarthy would become a coaching free agent.
