The Cowboys may have made a move for Trey Lance, but Dak Prescott isn't sweating his future in Dallas.
in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. Lance, the former No. 3 overall pick in 2021 that the 49ers jumped up to get, has played in just eight games and made four starts in San Francisco. He spent nearly all of his rookie season backing up Jimmy Garoppolo there, and then broke his ankle during his second start last season.
Lance will now presumably be the Cowboys’ third string quarterback, behind both Prescott and veteran backup Cooper Rush. It’s easy to see a world where Lance jumps Rush and becomes Prescott’s backup in the near future, though that’s unlikely to happen right away. Lance, who hasn’t gotten a true chance to prove himself in San Francisco, was someone who the Cowboys had their eye on in the 2021 draft, too.
Prescott, who threw for 2,860 yards, 23 touchdowns and a career-high 15 interceptions last season, has spent his entire career in Dallas. The 30-year-old is entering the third year of his four-year, $160 million deal this fall. Prescott said he wasn’t given any warning that the Cowboys were planning to bring in another quarterback ahead of time on Saturday, but that he wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t just Prescott who was in the dark, either.
