Few players in the Cowboys’ training camp are drawing more attention than quarterback Trey Lance. But while we’re anxious to see how he competes for the backup job and if he can create any sort of value beyond this year, one outcome you shouldn’t be looking for is that Lance fails to make the 2024 roster.
Dallas essentially assured Lance’s roster spot when they elected to keep him back in the offseason, triggering a $4.3 million fully guaranteed bonus. It raised his cap hit to $5.3 million including base salary and offers no relief if he is cut.
