Lance says Dak Prescott has “welcomed him with open arms” since Friday’s trade.
Former 49ers No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance on Tuesday made his first public comments as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, donning a hat that featured the team’s classic blue star.
He sidestepped questions about his expectations with the new team, insisting that he’s intent on focusing his energy on each day as he learns head coach Mike McCarthy’s offense and assimilates with the Cowboys. He figures to be the third-string quarterback behind Pro Bowler Dak Prescott, who Lance said welcomed him “with open arms” Tuesday and Cooper Rush, who went 4-1 last season with Prescott injured.
“I’m kind of really trying to move on. But yeah, it definitely took some time,” he said. “That conversation, obviously, wasn’t something I wanted to hear, but that’s the reality of the situation … It was tough but for me, it was kind of trying to figure out you know, what’s next and what’s gonna happen in the future.”
