IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach Wes Phillips is interviewing with the Washington Redskins, according to multiple sources.
Phillips is among a handful of Cowboys’ assistants with expiring contracts. He has been with the club since 2007 when his father, Wade, was named the head coach. In 2013 he was the tight ends coach after serving as the assistant offensive line coach in 2011 and ’12. He also spent time working with wide receivers and special teams in his time on the staff.
Jason Witten caught 73 passes for 851 yards and had eight touchdown catches, the second-best single-season total of his career in 2013. As a group, the tight ends caught 94 passes for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Cowboys have yet to announce any changes to the coaching staff, although they and assistant special-teams coach Chris Boniol mutually agreed to part ways two weeks ago. Like Phillips, Boniol had a one-year contract.
The Redskins hired Jay Gruden as Mike Shanahan’s replacement as head coach and promoted tight ends coach Sean McVay to offensive coordinator.

My first thought, too.
