The Dallas Cowboys are actively reducing their roster for the 2025 NFL season, and owner Jerry Jones might find himself in an unexpected situation due to a surprising development in the career of Dak Prescott’s backup quarterback.

Prescott has been under scrutiny lately amid rumors that the Cleveland Browns might make a bold attempt to trade for him. This audacious proposal comes as the Cowboys are eager to put their lackluster 2024 season behind them. Imagining the Cowboys without Prescott is quite shocking, particularly now that Dallas lacks backup Trey Lance, whose career could be about to undergo a substantial change in the league.

Where will Trey Lance play next? According to Dave Naylor of SportsCentre, the Saskatchewan Roughriders of Canada have added Lance to their negotiation list. This CFL team appears interested in acquiring Prescott’s backup, granting them exclusive rights to engage in contract discussions with him. Should Lance opt for this route, it would represent a notable shift in his career.

Although leaving the NFL is not an attractive choice, it could become a feasible option for Lance, who has struggled to establish himself during his three seasons in the league, with limited playing time during his tenures with the San Francisco 49ers and the Cowboys.

Lance’s journey in the NFL has seen him participate in just 12 games, starting only five. Overall, he has completed 81 passes for 1,063 yards and achieved a mere five touchdowns. During his time with Dallas, he was on the field only four times and suffered one interception.
