We resign Dak during Camp or during the season, what is Trey Lance's thoughts or his next move????

1) He feels mislead and asks for a trade
2) He sucks it up and remains the backup and leaves the following season
3) He knows it was coming all the way long, but kept working hard on his craft to get better


I really need to sign up so I can do Poll topics!!! :facepalm:

IF Dak is resigned, the Cowboys have to hope someone suffers a QB injury early and is desperate enough to trade for Lance and bail Jerry out from one of the silliest, nonsensical trades he has ever made.


I'll eliminate NFC East teams because the Cowboys should not be trying to help any of those teams, especially early in the season.

NFC North
Chicago - No. If Caleb goes down, the team will quietly tank and keep building towards the future.
Detroit - No. They have Herndon Hooker so he is their developmental guy if Goff got hurt.
Green Bay - Yes. Sean Clifford is not going to get it done. Lance is an unproven, watered-down version of Jordan Love.
Minnesota - No, they have their guy in J.J. McCarthy if Darnold gets hurt,

NFC South
Atlanta - Nope. Penix is up next.
Carolina - Maybe? Andy Dalton is their insurance but if Young gets hurt, he's still their future.
New Orleans - No. They have both Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler waiting in the wings.
Tampa Bay - Possibly. If Baker gets hurt, they have Kyle Trask. That's a recipe for last place in a really weak division.

NFC West
Arizona - I don't think so. If Kyler got hurt, they would just roll with Desmond Ridder.
Los Angeles - I seriously doubt it. McVay depends on QBs to make quick reads running similar plays out of various formations. Lance struggles with this and I don't think McVay could get him up to speed without training camp.
San Francisco - Zero chance.
Seattle - No. They have Sam Howell behind Geno.

AFC East
Buffalo - Slight maybe. Lance has some similar athletic traits to Josh. They would probably stick with Mitchell Trubisky.
Miami - They could but McDaniel is from the Shanahan tree and coached Lance is rookie year. I'd bet against it.
New England - Nope, Drake Maye is up next.
NY Jets - No. Those coaches are playing for their careers. If Rodgers gets hurt they would go Tyrod Taylor. Plus, they have Jordan Travis.

AFC North
Baltimore - Yes. Very much so. However, the Ravens FO would swindle Jerry and Stephen and we'd up trading another 4th for them to take Lance.
Cincinnati - They like Jake Browning so I wouldn't think so.
Cleveland - No. They have a full stable of QBs after Watson in Jameis Winston, Tyler Huntley, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Pittsburgh - They have Justin Fields waiting.

AFC South
Houston - Maybe? They probably just roll with Davis Mills.
Indianapolis - No. Richardson is their present and future. Flacco drives the bus if Richardson gets hurt.
Jacksonville - No? Mac Jones gets first crack.
Tennessee - Small maybe. Mason Rudolph is their insurance. They'd probably trot out Malik Willis for him to prove whether or not he can play.

AFC West
Denver - No. Payton already has young QBs in Nix and Zach, along with a decent back-up in Jarrett Stidham.
Kansas City - No. Reid like Sean McVay, needs guys who can make quick decisions to run his Offense.
Las Vegas - I think they should. Minshew is a JAG, and I don't believe in Aidan O'Connell at all.
Los Angeles - Yes, Lance is better than Easton Stick, Lance can run Harbaugh's offense.

He does not show up to practice like he did in SF.

Easily #2....Unless hes completely dominant in the preseason I don't see any team trading for him. He probably has more value to the Cowboys as an opportunity for a comp pick when he walks next offseason than what he would get you in a trade.
Hahaha

First off Niners had zero concern sending Trance to us. I would actually prefer to send him to the NFC East

Second, we traded for Trance at the end of camp and we all know it was basically a waste of a year because he did not know the offense. So why would another team make the same mistake and do the same thing?

Do you think their are 2 GM Jethro's out there?

You can trade experienced veteran QB's mid season, they know how to read a defense and can learn a new offense quickly. That is not the case with Trance.

You don’t use the same criteria for other teams as you do for the cowboys. The same teams you say Lance would be a fit for would be a fit here but for some reason it’s not.

If you are Trance and what is holding you back is playing time. Why would you sign a new deal to compete as a back up?

Go play in another league and get some experience.

How many QBs has the other league route worked for? I can think of a couple backups, but not any starters off the top of my head.

I have to believe that Lance would prefer to stay in the NFL and make $3-6M per year as a backup rather than go play in the UFL for 5k per week.

So he just wants a pay check.

The Cowboys will resign Dak. Lance should stay if likes the coaching and if he gets along with the team. He is 24 years old. Let the Cowboys develop him and he could be our quarterback in 2027.
