It was hard to do the 53 with 2qbs. I take it that they now will have 3 qbs on the 53 with the Lance acquisition.
I’d say that’s a guarantee. Have to readjust those TE and RB numbers I think. 3 of each if I had to guess unless they go light on the offensive line?

I was thinking the same thing. I was using that extra spot to keep Isiah Land or Juanyeh Thomas on my roster projections. Lance being here is awesome but he's going to cost someone else a gig on the 53.

Dallas has been in the habit of going short at QB lately (only 2), so they've gotten used to having that extra roster spot. It will create a squeeze now, with this deep roster especially.

3 QB is a good idea. Always.

They will have to have him on the 53, so he won't be claimed.
Yeah so now we go thin at another position and probably lose a good UDFA somewhere like Land or Bell or Bass because they have to go to the ps and then get poached making a spot for this huge bust so we don’t (immediately) look like fools for wasting a fourth round pick to them get poached from the ps for free.
Sorry not reserving judgement on this one, this looks like an idiotic move unless someone in our staff is thoroughly convinced the guy can become a starter at some point. Currently he got beat out by Sam Darnold who is worse than Cooper Rush. So what are we doing here?
Probably could’ve gotten Jonathan Taylor for that fourth round pick and something else…

Yep, so that is on the 53.

It does take away a spot on the 53 for someone.

So yes...won't hurt game day roster (is it 48 or 46?) after we have the 53.
The NFL implemented a revised third quarterback rule for the 2023 NFL season in response to the 49ers sustaining injuries to both of their active quarterbacks in the NFC Championship Game.[4] The third quarterback can be placed on an inactive roster spot where he would not use a spot on the 53 player active roster. He may enter the game if the quarterbacks on the active roster are injured or disqualified.

Cowboys risk putting TE McKeon, RB Luepke (maybe even RB Davis) on waivers - then bring them back for the practice squad?

The third quarterback has to be on a team's 53-player roster for the regular season.
On gamedays, the third QB will be inactive for the 46-player squad.
But if he has to enter the game because both QB1 and QB2 are injured or suspended, QB3 becomes eligible to play - and does not count against the 46-player squad.

I have Thomas on the 53 in every scenario.
