Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy reiterated on Thursday at organized team activities that he's "definitely" seen significant progress from backup quarterback Trey Lance. "Now starting to get the timing with the routes. He's close to being a master of the system. He has a really high understanding. He just needs as many reps as he can," McCarthy said. Despite the Cowboys unsurprisingly declining Lance's fifth-year option this offseason, they have liked what they've seen from the former ...

The Dallas Cowboys are excited to work with backup quarterback Trey Lance this summer after trading for him before the 2023 season. Lance served as the No. 3 behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush last year and didn't play a single snap in his first year in Dallas. He hasn't played in a game since a preseason game on Aug. 19 of last year with the San Francisco 49ers. His last time in a regular season game came on Sept. 18 of 2022 in Week 2. Lance will enter training camp this year competing with...

Five quarterbacks were selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Each one was viewed as potentially franchise-altering. The class was led by Trevor Lawrence, who was considered the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck.The rookie season for most of the first-round quarterbacks was rough, but the wheels fell off in 2022. Zach Wilson was abysmal and immature, Trey Lance broke his ankle, Mac Jones was screaming at the sideline, and Justin Fields struggled as a passer.Only Trevor ...

The Dallas Cowboys will decline to pick up the fifth-year option on quarterback Trey Lance, according to a source. The move isn't a surprise at all after the decision was essentially made last August when Dallas acquired him from the San Francisco 49ers for a 2024 fourth-round pick. Lance's 2025 option would have cost the Cowboys a fully guaranteed $22.4 million. The Cowboys don't have a QB on their roster signed beyond the 2024 season, with Dak Prescott, Lance and Cooper Rush all set for ...

The draft has ended, and teams and fans are the most excited they will be until the season starts in September.While the draft does not make or break an NFL team, it can have a major effect on the future. Where would the San Francisco 49ers be had they not traded three first-round picks for Trey Lance? Ok, maybe a bad example. But maybe they would have won the Super Bowl. But seriously, where would a team like the New York Jets be had they hit on recent first-round picks? Perhaps challenging the...

The Dallas Cowboys will pick up quarterback Trey Lance's $4.25 million roster bonus for the 2024 season, but they also elected not to pick up his fifth-year option for 2025. The Cowboys acquired Lance from the San Francisco 49ers during training camp last summer, but the former first-rounder didn't play as a single snap in his first year with the Cowboys behind starter Dak Prescott, who had a career year. The 23-year-old will now return as Prescott's backup next season, but he'll likely be on ...

Some rookies take time to adjust to the speed of the NFL game. Season one can be a bumpy ride. Season two (hopefully) shows further development. By season three, it's clear which players are cut out for the league.That statement is proven correct in the 2021 NFL Draft. Quarterbacks headlined the draft with Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance going first, second, and third, respectively. Only one of those signal callers has panned out.Below, I redraft the entire first round of the 2021 ...

The Green Bay Packers are in a state of flux for the first time in a long, long time. Some of the Packer faithful are choking on their provolone and cheddar sandwiches because Aaron Rodgers is no longer running the offense. The reins have been handed over to youngster Jordan Love, and the fantasy football world really has no idea how things are going to shake out.Will Love become the next Patrick Mahomes, or will he become the next Trey Lance? Or maybe just something in between?How Love and the ...

Some controversies will never be settled. Did Franco Harris catch the pass? Did Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon? Should Trey Lance start over Dak Prescott?With that said, there's no hotter controversy on Fantasy Football Twitter than the so-called "running back dead zone." Does it exist or not? What is it even?Let's take a look at the details and let me make my case. I'll tell you why the RB dead zone is a conspiracy theory created by Big Fantasy to mess with the markets and deprive you of ...

After trading up to select Trey Lance with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft just over two years ago, the San Francisco 49ers have elected to move on from the 23-year-old quarterback, trading Lance to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Niners sent three first-round picks and a third-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in order to move up to the third spot in the 2021 NFL Draft to select Lance, a player they hoped could be their...
