• Cowboys' Trey Lance: Likely moving on from Dallas

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said Lance is "probably going to be looking for something different" this offseason, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports. Lance was the Cowboys' third-string quarterback the past two seasons, after they traded a fourth-round pick for him shortly before the start of the 2023 campaign. He played decent in his one start -- a 23-19 loss to Washington in Week 18 of this past season -- but it sounds like the Cowboys would rather draft a new quarterback to develop behind starter Dak Prescott. Both Lance and second-stringer Cooper Rush are scheduled for free agency this spring, with Jones already suggesting that Rush's solid work as a backup may have priced him out of the Cowboys' range.

• Cowboys' Trey Lance: No TDs or turnovers in spot start

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Lance completed 20 of 34 passes for 244 yards while rushing six times for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Commanders. Making his first start since Week 2 of the 2022 season with the 49ers, Lance came out hot, producing back-to-back completions over 30 yards to Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin to set up a field goal on the first drive. Lance continued to move the offense well and didn't turn the ball over, but the Cowboys frequently stalled in scoring range, settling for four field goals prior to a two-yard Rico Dowdle rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. The third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is set to become a free agent in the offseason, and it's unclear if Dallas will make an effort to retain him.

• Cowboys' Trey Lance: In line for work in Week 18

  01/04/2025 • By RotoWire

  Lance is expected to see "significant" snaps during Sunday's season finale against the Commanders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Even with No. 1 QB Dak Prescott sidelined since he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury Week 9, Cooper Rush has handled just about all the reps under center in the meantime, while Lance has completed five of seven passes for 22 yards, no touchdowns and an interception and recorded five carries for 15 yards in three mostly brief appearances. Rapoport also noted that Rush still may start Week 18, but Lance should receive plenty of run to see how he handles extended game action. The breakdown of reps between Rush and Lance hasn't been made clear, though, so it remains to be seen what kind of workload either player will have Sunday.

• Cowboys' Trey Lance: Week 11 Waiver Priority List

  11/12/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Cooper Rush (16 percent rostered) is expected to start in Week 11 against Houston for the injured Dak Prescott (hamstring), but we hope the Cowboys give Lance a chance for extended playing time if Prescott could be out for the rest of the season. Rush is a career backup, but maybe Lance could resurrect his career if Dallas gives him a chance to play and prove himself. In Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, Lance is worth a flier for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Cowboys' Trey Lance: Sees action in blowout loss

  11/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lance completed four of six passes for 21 yards with an interception and added 17 rushing yards on three carries in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles. Cooper Rush got the start at quarterback for the Cowboys with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out, but the veteran backup had trouble moving the ball and lost two fumbles. Lance took over the offense after Rush's second turnover, but he had his own issues, getting picked off in the fourth quarter on a deep ball intended for Jalen Tolbert that the wideout never even turned around to track. The score was 28-6 when Lance was brought in, so it's not clear if the switch was due to the blowout nature of the game, or if it was a signal that he'll get a real chance to claim the top job in Prescott's absence.
