Trey Lance, the young quarterback who was traded to the Cowboys from the San Francisco 49ers, had a limited role in his first season with Dallas. He started only one game and faced stiff competition, particularly when Dak Prescott was sidelined due to injury. Despite the potential for a fresh start under a new coaching staff, the team has significant salary cap considerations looming, particularly with the need to retain standout linebacker Micah Parsons.
