Sources: Dallas Cowboys Plan to Re-Sign Trey Lance, But Won't Exercise 5th-Year Option
FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2023 NFL Draft wishing to use a mid-round pick on an affordable developmental quarterback to work behind Dak Prescott. The chips didn't quite fall that way, but the mindset was the same when at the start of the season they traded a mid-round pick for a quarterback who has yet to develop in Trey Lance.
The trick, short of Lance miraculously blossoming into being a better player than Prescott is to find a middle ground: Can Lance become a good-enough backup to merit a cap-friendly extension here ... as opposed to becoming so good that he can get his $25 million-plus elsewhere? And one more: Though stranger things have happened, this isn't about"leverage'' in the Prescott negotiations; Lance has never demonstrated that he is a threat on that level.Said COO Stephen Jones recently: “ is under contract now, but we’d like to do this after the season. Once the season is over, we will focus on that. Dak will be our quarterback.”
