Richard has garnered a ton of respect from around the league, and if the Cowboys want to keep him onboard, they'll have to make it worth his while. Per NFL rules, however, they can veto the request by the Jets and any other team right now, making it no guarantee anyone outside of Dallas will have access to him during the playoffs and while he's still under contract. That gives the Cowboys the definitive edge in keeping him longterm, along with other variables they used to attract him to the position in the first place. There's a caveat though, because if the Jets are interviewing him for the head coaching job, the Cowboys can't say no because it's not a lateral move.
However they've written up his contract, any interview that is not for a HC position is a lateral move and the Cowboys can block it.
