Alright, let’s talk about the Cowboys’ Trey Lance and this whole preseason mess that’s got everyone wondering if he’s gonna be traded. I’ve been following this situation, and man, it’s been a rollercoaster.
So, first off, I started digging into why Trey Lance wasn’t starting for the Cowboys. Turns out, the team thinks Cooper Rush gives them a better shot at winning if Prescott’s out. Jerry Jones himself said, “Cooper has shown that he has the capability to compete and win in games.” That was after Week 10, so it’s been their thinking for a while.
Then, I looked into the Cowboys’ recent trades. They did this deal with the Carolina Panthers where they got an extra seventh-round pick and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo. They sent their 2025 fourth-round pick back to Carolina. I figured maybe they were clearing space or something, you know?
Next, I listened to what Coach McCarthy had to say. He said, “Cooper Rush will be the starter, and we’re putting together a game plan to go win.” Sounds pretty straightforward, right? But then, I saw that the Cowboys lost both of Rush’s starts in 2024, and by a lot – 68-16 combined. That got me thinking, maybe Rush isn’t the answer either.
I also found out that Trey Lance is gonna be a free agent in a few weeks. That’s a big deal. I mean, he might end up leaving the Cowboys after just one start. They traded a fourth-round pick for him, so it feels like a bit of a waste if he just walks away, doesn’t it?
Then there’s the whole idea of trading Lance. Some folks are saying it won’t be easy to trade him. The market for backup quarterbacks is gonna be interesting next week, and who knows if anyone’s gonna be willing to give up much for Lance, especially with his inconsistent performance.
I even read that Jerry Jones isn’t ready to regret the trade yet. They lost their preseason finale, and that probably didn’t help Lance’s case. But it’s like, what did they expect? He hasn’t had much playing time.
- Started by looking into why Lance wasn’t starting.
- Checked out recent Cowboys trades to see if they were related.
- Listened to Coach McCarthy’s statements about Rush being the starter.
- Noticed the poor results in Rush’s recent starts.
- Found out about Lance’s upcoming free agency.
- Considered the difficulty of trading Lance.
- Read that Jerry Jones isn’t regretting the trade… yet.
Honestly, this whole situation is a bit of a head-scratcher. It feels like the Cowboys might have made a mistake with this Trey Lance trade. They gave up a decent pick for him, and now they might end up with nothing. But hey, that’s football, right? Things change fast, and you never really know what’s gonna happen. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out.
