Cowboys Executive Comments on Trey Lance Amid Dak Prescott Contract Talks
As the Cowboys focus on managing finances to secure key players like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons, they are also highlighting Trey Lance as a potential asset if Prescott’s contract negotiations don’t pan out favorably.
Last offseason, the Cowboys acquired Lance from the 49ers in exchange for a fourth-round pick, recognizing his potential despite his limited playing time in San Francisco. With Prescott’s contract nearing its end and talks yet to gain momentum, the Cowboys are looking to leverage Lance’s talents as a bargaining chip.
During an appearance on the K&C Masterpiece show in Dallas, Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones praised Lance’s abilities, emphasizing his worth as a former top draft pick and a valuable addition to the team.
Jones highlighted Lance’s work ethic and athleticism, noting that while he hasn’t had significant game time due to injury, his potential as a dynamic quarterback is evident.
In discussions about next week’s draft, Jones expressed confidence in the Cowboys’ quarterback situation, mentioning the team’s satisfaction with Prescott and their optimism regarding Lance’s development and contributions during his time with the team.
Overall, the Cowboys view Lance as a promising option, showcasing the depth and talent they have at the quarterback position alongside Prescott and Cooper Rush. While the focus remains on securing Prescott’s future, Lance’s presence provides additional flexibility and potential in their roster planning.
