Cowboys’ Likely Decision on Possible QB Trade Revealed Amid Rumors.
The Dallas Cowboys have three quarterbacks who likely have appeal around the league, prompting plenty of NFL trade rumors. With Dak Prescott headed towards an eventual extension, the focus turns to the futures of Trey Lance and Cooper Rush.
Yet, Sports Illustrated’s Mike Fisher believes there is a good chance the Cowboys will retain all three quarterbacks this offseason. Keep in mind, Dallas gave up a fourth-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers in order to land Lance before the season started.
“It’s been written that Dallas is ‘going to have to make a choice about whether to keep Lance around or not,’” Fisher noted in a January 5, 2024 column titled, “Rumor: Cowboys to Trade Dak Prescott Backup QB Cooper Rush or Trey Lance; 10 Truths Inside The Star.” “Indeed, according to the contract website Spotrac, Lance is very much on the ‘roster bubble’ for the Cowboys in 2024.
“That is false. He is an asset – if not as a third-string QB (assuming he doesn’t beat out Rush next summer) than in a trade … as long as Dallas gets more than a fourth-round pick back for him.”
Cowboys Rumors: Dallas Will Not Pick Up Trey Lance’s Fifth-Year Option for 2025
Lance’s cap hit of $5.3 million is reasonable for 2024 but admittedly a high price for a third-string quarterback. Rush’s deal is more affordable at $2.8 million for next season, and it is worth watching to see if the Cowboys at least take calls about a potential deal for either quarterback. ESPN’s Todd Archer reported on October 4 that the Cowboys would not exercise Lance’s fifth-year option in 2025.
“The Cowboys will not exercise the fifth-year option next spring on Lance for 2025, since that would cost more than $25 million, but they could work out a short-term extension for him if they like what they see in practice this season and in next year’s preseason,” Archer detailed in a story titled, “What Cowboys saw in Trey Lance and what’s next for the former 49ers QB.”
