Cowboys have wanted a developmental QB for years. That’s why they couldn’t pass on Trey Lance

Trey Lance gives the Dallas Cowboys the developmental quarterback they've sought for years, and owner/general manager Jerry Jones didn't feel the need for Dak Prescott's approval to make the move. The Cowboys acquired Lance for a fourth-round draft pick in a trade with San Francisco on Friday, a day before the preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. “He gives us an opportunity to do what we would always like to be doing,” Jones said.
