There's a quarterback shortage in the NFL, and the Cowboys aren't the only team feeling the pinch these days.
Desperate for a veteran backup for an aging Tony Romo, the Cowboys saw their offseason short list evaporate with the quick departure from the marketplace of Colt McCoy and Chase Daniel to division rivals. McCoy re-signed with the Redskins, and Daniel jumped from Kansas City to the Philadelphia Eagles. Both received three-year deals, with McCoy signing for $9 million and Daniel $21 million.
The Cowboys believed they could still get Matt Moore, a one-time training camp cut, on the cheap.
