After missing out on backup duties behind Brock Purdy with the San Francisco 49ers, it looks like Trey Lance will be backing up Dak Prescott.
The Dallas Cowboys are acquiring Lance in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Niners general manager John Lynch confirmed the deal Friday in an interview during the team's preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Cowboys will reportedly cover all of Lance's $940,000 salary for this season and $5.3 million for next year, while also making the decision on his fifth-year option for 2025.
