Lance is a lottery ticket/or insurance if Dak goes down. Do you know how easy it is to obtain a 4th round pick? Teams give them away. The Browns/Jets/Giants wish they made that trade.
No other team offered more than a 5th or 6th round pick when he had a cheap extra year on his deal. Now you'll be trying to trade a one year, $5 million guaranteed contract belonging to an injury-prone guy with bad tape who was QB3 on multiple teams in 2023. We need to forget about this dream. It's not going to happen.
And San Francisco is still grateful for that.
Yeah that third they gave up for Chase.
No they will have to develop him to the point there is interest. I think I mentioned that prior.
That's a little rich for me, but the way he's playing, they might end up getting it back in a couple years.
the plan is for him to learn this year and show progress in practice, show progress in film room about what he sees and recognition. subsequently you get off season to evaluate, specially in preseason next year. he has to show he can be better than Rush and then take over #2 spot. he can be a trade bait if he shows enough next year for another team desparate for a QB. If he shows enough and gains trust of coaches and Jerry, then he gets an extension.
Because he isn't finished learning and developing yet. It really doesn't matter how he looks now. Or OTA's next spring. Next August is when things start to matter with Lance.
Would give a 4th round pick all day to entertain the thought of a future developmental project at QB.
Why would anybody want him over Dak? Dak is playing great.
Lance is a trade piece. Worst case. Teams are desperately seeking a Qb. The recent success of guys like Dobbs and Geno Smith helps Dallas & Trey Lance. If Dak exceeds expectations and we make a very deep run, Lance will become a hot trade target. Some team will think they can reboot him and find a scheme that fits him. I think he will get meaningful reps like the last game of the year after we cinch in a playoff spot and draft position. It will be his dress rehearsal for the other 16 plus teams not in the playoffs.
I agree they weren’t going to trade a fourth round pick for a backup QB. Dak had been regressing and they wanted to cover themselves in the event he continued to regress this season and they decided to move on from him. Even if things don’t go the way we want this season, he’ll be extended. He’s played too well not to be extended. If Lance can win the backup job next season, eventually he’s going to have to play at some point due to Dak being injured. If he can play well, it will increase his stock in the event we trade him.
I didn't say anything about someone wanting him over Dak.
With his roster bonus he’ll cost Dallas over $5 million next season. Prescott is going to sign a new deal certainly over $55 million per, Rush is probably owed a couple of million if he’s still with the team. Lance pretty much has to be Dallas’ number two next season. If he can’t move ahead of Cooper Rush the demand for him won’t be a 4th round pick.
