The Dallas Cowboys traded a fourth-round draft pick in 2023 to acquire quarterback Trey Lance, yet his tenure with the team was short-lived. After two seasons, Lance has signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, worth up to $6.2 million, where he'll serve as a backup to Justin Herbert alongside Taylor Heinicke. Despite being a highly-regarded prospect as a third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Lance has struggled, starting only one game for Dallas in the 2024 season, where he threw for 244 yards. Cowboys management is now looking to draft a new quarterback, showing a shift in direction. The Chargers may provide the opportunity he seeks as he looks to revitalize his career.
