The article is wrong; the Cowboys would have to exercise his 5th year option by May 1, 2024 (before next training camp) not 2025 like what is in the story. The Cowboys aren't crazy enough to do that.. I don't think..
There is going to be a QB transition from Dak to Lance.

If Dak is a June 2024 cut, then we need the extra cap for a few seasons.

It's not feasible to pay both Dak and Lance big $$$.

So Lance's pay day will be in 2026/27.

The Cowboys probably have a 3 to 4 year plan for Trey Lance. They want to have enough time to develop him.

He's had two seasons with that genius HC in SF.

There is going to be a QB change in 2024. Dak to Lance.

He truly is a project. I agree it does not look good but at the same time those claiming since he failed there he will fail here need to be reminded of other QBs that stank with one team and then blossomed under the right coaching and the right system.
BUT paying him big bucks? NO WAY!

You’re wrong on the QB transition. Dak would really have to crap the bed in several key games the remainder of the season for the Cowboys to cut him after the season. If that were to happen, they’re not about to turn over the keys to an unproven Trey Lance. They would bring in a more experienced veteran to compete with Lance.

He had two seasons with Shanahan and he flopped, which resulted in him being benched and traded. That’s not the guy the Cowboys are going to turn over the keys to as their starting QB. Lance hasn’t even played a single game for us. He’s not even our backup QB. He needs a lot of development.

Dak is UFA after 2024.

Unless they extend him with a new deal. Unlikely now because of Lance.

They can save cap $$$ if they make him a June 2024 cut.

He had two freak injuries.

SF saved cap $$$ and got a pick.

We get the kid.

Hes 100% going to replace Dak and could be as early as next year

i fully expect him to start in 2025 though..no nfc title or sb then Dak is gone
Start for who in 2025? Edmonton? He's not starting for any NFL or CFL team in 2025. The dude is terrible. On Zach Wilson's level.

I don’t think Jerry and Co. feel the same way.

It’s going to happen.

He didn’t play very well when he was healthy. They’re not going to move on after only two seasons from a QB they gave up the farm for just because of a couple of injuries. He was given an opportunity this summer and couldn’t even win the backup job. You’re going way overboard thinking the Cowboys are going to cut Dak after this season and make Trey Lance the starting QB, when they haven’t even seen him take a snap for the team. That’s simply not going to happen! If Lance ever becomes the starting QB of the Cowboys, it’s because he had a good training camp, and beat out some competition for the starting job.

It’s not going to happen the way you think it’s going happen. Lol Jerry isn’t about to cut Dak and name Trey Lance as our starting QB heading into the 2024 season. Lance is going to have to prove himself in some games before he’s even named the backup QB. He hasn’t even beaten out Cooper Rush yet.

He's the future.

There are a lot of cards to this deal.

Jerry is playing it smart.

Dak is UFA after 2024. No extension. Possible post June cut in 2024. By 2026 we could be in the clear.

They have plans for Lance. But they want the benefit on not paying $$$ for a young QB.
How do you know he's the future? So far he's been so bad the team that traded up to get him has dumped him after 2 years. Lance will be a free agent too. Do you pay him starting money? Will he take less? How much less? So many variables. What if he doesn't get better cause ultimately he only had 1 good year in college then sat out so he doesn't get exposed as a fraud. At this point I think Cooper is better than lance.

There are so many. Remember Winston and Mariota? Winston was worse in a way as he teased you by coming close but never really getting there.
Jeff George, Goff, etc. Even Luck never really got it done though it can be argued it was not his fault.
All the QBs that ended up with terrible teams.
AND yet the vast majority of QBs that have rings were picked in the first rd (outliers like Brady do show its not absolute)
