The Dallas Cowboys continue to trim their roster for the 2025 NFL season, and owner Jerry Jones might be facing a surprising scenario considering the unexpected turn in the career of a backup quarterback for star Dak Prescott.
Prescott has been in the spotlight recently due to rumors that the Cleveland Browns might consider making a bold attempt to acquire him through a trade. The proposal seems quite daring for a season in which the Cowboys aim to leave behind their disappointing 2024 campaign.
The idea of envisioning the Cowboys without Prescott could be startling, especially at this moment when Dallas doesn’t have backup Trey Lance, who might see his career take a significant turn in his professional future in the league.
Where will Trey Lance play?
Lance has been added to the negotiation list of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of Canada, according to Dave Naylor of SportsCentre. The CFL team is reportedly interested in signing Prescott’s backup, giving them exclusive rights to negotiate a contract with him. If Lance decides to take this path, it would mark a significant shift in his career.
Leaving the NFL is not a pleasant option, but it could be a viable path for quarterback Lance, who has struggled to establish himself as a professional in his three seasons, with limited playing time during his stints with the San Francisco 49ers and the Cowboys.
Lance’s career in the NFL
Lance has played only 12 games as a professional in the league, starting just five of them. In total, he has completed 81 passes for 1,063 yards and recorded just five touchdowns. During his season in Dallas, he appeared on the field only four times and was intercepted once.
