Trey Lance

Trey Lance has reportedly been rumored to be linked to the Vikings.

This is if Kirk Cousins decides to leave in free agency. Lance, who is from Minnesota, had his roster bonus picked up by the Cowboys. It is still likely a longshot to happen, but this could be something to monitor if Cousins signs with a new team.

The Cowboys are picking up the $4.25 million roster bonus for Trey Lance.

Lance is not expected to have his fifth-year team option picked up for the 2025 season. He should remain in a backup role behind Dak Prescott for the Cowboys.

Cowboys QB Trey Lance is officially inactive for a Week 6 matchup with the Chargers.

Lance will serve as the emergency third quarterback and would enter the game if Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were to both suffer an injury. Fantasy managers can comfortably leave Lance on the waiver wire.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, former first-rounder Trey Lance is being traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a mid-round pick.

The Cowboys are shipping off a 2024 fourth-round pick for Lance who is owed less than a million dollars in 2023. The Cowboys retain the right to his fifth-year option. As far as fantasy future goes, it's a perplexing move for Lance. He gets the opportunity to start fresh, but he will be working behind veteran QB Dak Prescott. For now, Lance is nothing more than a stash in superflex dynasty formats. Lance is entering his third year in the NFL and is a low-risk bet for Dallas, though his path is unclear.

Trey Lance could reportedly be released or traded in the coming days.

This comes after it was reported that Sam Darnold earned the backup quarterback job for the 49ers behind Brock Purdy. Lance will look to potentially land a new opportunity before Week 1.
