For all of the upside that can come from this trade for Trey Lance, it’s worth the risk for the Cowboys.
, who went 4-1 last year in filling in for Prescott, will be the backup. For the first time in Lance’s NFL career, there’s no chatter about the possibility of him starting. All he needs to do is work relentlessly behind the scenes, learn the system and allow the NFL game to slow down for him. Up to this point, circumstances were Lance’s enemy. Now, they’re his friend.If Lance handles this properly, he’s going to set himself up to take advantage of circumstances, however they present themselves.
In Dallas, Lance now holds the same value that Prescott held in Dallas as a rookie in 2016: a fourth-round pick. In 2016, Prescott had just turned 23 years old, which is how old Lance turned three months ago, after two seasons in the NFL. Lance carries some of the same attributes that Prescott did as a young quarterback, and some of the same physical questions. Even Lance’s ankle injury that wiped out his 2022 season is similar to what Prescott has overcome since his 2020 ankle injury.
Though it’s unlikely, it also shouldn’t be completely discounted that Lance could have a cameo role at some point this season. If Lance can show enough in practices to give the Cowboys confidence in him as a backup, Mike McCarthy and Brian Schottenheimer could prepare a small package for him that could utilize his mobility and skill set, while also protecting Prescott from harm’s way.
