As the Dallas Cowboys approach the 2024 NFL season, speculation has been swirling around which players will secure a spot on the 53-man roster. Among those in the spotlight is quarterback Trey Lance, whose future with the team has been a topic of debate. With the preseason nearing its conclusion, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made a decisive statement regarding Lance’s place on the team.
During a recent interview, Jones was questioned about the tough decisions looming over the Cowboys’ final roster cuts, especially concerning Lance. Known for fostering a competitive environment, the Cowboys’ leadership has seen significant talent emerge during preseason games, leading to difficult choices at key positions. When asked specifically if Lance had shown enough to earn a spot on the roster, Jones gave a clear and confident response: “Do I need to see any more from Trey Lance? Can we stop there? And the answer is yes. But, he’s going to be on the 53.”
Lance’s journey through the preseason has been one of growth and adaptation. Coming from North Dakota State, where he had limited college experience, Lance has been working hard to develop his skills and prove his potential as a reliable NFL quarterback. His performances in the preseason games have been pivotal, allowing him to gain much-needed experience and demonstrate his ability to contribute to the team.
In the game against the Los Angeles Rams, Lance initially struggled but gradually found his rhythm, moving the ball efficiently and avoiding turnovers. Although he didn’t score any touchdowns, his efforts helped the Cowboys get into field goal range multiple times, showcasing his potential under pressure. His performance improved notably in the following game against the Las Vegas Raiders, where he led two successful drives, including a rushing touchdown, all while maintaining a clean sheet with no sacks or interceptions.
As the Cowboys prepare for their final preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Lance is expected to get significant playing time once again. This game will be crucial for ironing out any remaining rough spots in his game. Fans and coaches alike are eager to see Lance make a strong, long pass connection and rely more on his running backs to balance the offense. Another interception-free game would further solidify his position as a secure backup for the team.
With the preseason wrapping up and his roster spot all but confirmed, Trey Lance is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season. As he continues to develop, the Cowboys are banking on his potential to contribute meaningfully to their success.
