Analyst: The Cowboys and Seahawks could make an unusual trade for a quarterback.
According to Dallas Cowboys rumors, Dak Prescott appears to be the franchise quarterback for the team. The Seattle Seahawks have substantially less certainty in 2023 as a result of Geno Smith’s unpredictable play.
Prescott has established himself as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback and is a candidate for NFL MVP. Dallas must yet make a decision about the role’s future. Contracts for Trey Lance, Cooper Rush, and Dak Prescott expire in 2024.
Given that the quarterback is less than three years off from being the third overall choice in the 2021 NFL draft, Lance probably still has some clout in the NFL. To get Lance as their third quarterback going into the season, the Cowboys traded a fourth-round pick to the 49ers. The NFL’s quarterback situation is not great because several teams are struggling with injuries and uncertainty.
Lance still has trade value even if he hasn’t taken a snap for Dallas. The Seahawks, Saints, and Vikings all rumoured to be interested parties in trading for Lance. Dallas have the luxury of having Rush on the team, who in 2024 might serve as Prescott’s backup.
“According to Spotrac, Rush is under contract for just $2.87 million against the cap, so Dallas could slide Lance into the QB2 role next season,” Livesay wrote in a story headlined “Surprising NFL Players Who Could Be Traded This Offseason” on December 8, 2023. “Should the Cowboys continue to use Rush at quarterback, they may begin contacting teams in need of quarterbacks that were not able to select Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, or Drake Maye in the 2024 NFL Draft.
“Lance might raise the ceiling on Dallas’ QB2 spot, but the Cowboys could get a better return for Lance than what they paid from teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints or Seattle Seahawks. If those teams miss out on the top passers in the draft, they could see Lance as a viable option.”
