After a painful 2015 NFL season for the Dallas Cowboys, a season in which the Cowboys could only muster up one win in 12 games that Tony Romo did not start, the front office promised that they would not go into 2016 without addressing the backup quarterback position.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and vice president of operations Stephen Jones were both on the record for saying that they would make sure that there was a respectable reserve quarterback on the roster in case Romo goes down in the upcoming season.
Yet after all of that talk, the Cowboys only acquisition of a quarterback was in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, selecting Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott.
