Trey Lance's future in the NFL is reliant on a team taking a chance. The 2021 No. 3 pick did not work out with the San Francisco 49ers and currently serves as a third-string quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.
In Dallas' final preseason game of the year against the Los Angeles Chargers, he got one last chance to show what he could do—and let's just say it was a mixed bag. He went 33-of-49 for 323 yards and a touchdown while adding 90 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. However, he tossed five interceptions and was sacked three times in the 26-19 loss.
One of those interceptions came at the end of the fourth quarter when Dallas had a chance to tie the game. TREY LANCE 46 YARDS TO THE 🏠(via @NFL)pic.twitter.
com/lraNY6g6xX Trey Lance gets absolutely bulldozed into the end zone.Lance with 3 INT's and 2 fumbles today but has 335 total yard and 2 TD's. He will never make it in this league if he can't protect the football & make the right decisions.

His ability to be a game changer is CLEARLY THERE. He made these defenders with angles look like they were running in place. 🤯 pic.
twitter.com/mBY1xUEo7o The Trey Lance story, IMO, is the same at the end of preseason as it was at the beginning: plenty of talent, plenty of inexperience, needs time. The one problem? There isn't much time — from a Cowboys perspective.
He's a free agent after this season. Trey Lance's ints are a by product of him losing out on so many reps over the years. He's learning on the job in real game action.
We've seen the best of him and the worst of him this preseason. That's why he is such a hard evaluation. He is dynamic but can also put you in a hole Trey Lance not having a good day today but I like him as my future QB .
. more reps the better Trey lance is an enigma #LACvsDAL Trey Lance just threw a beautiful deep ball just beyond the goal line ..
. that should've been caught. Trey lance gotta get cut Trey Lance just threw 5 picks in a preseason game that's amazingly awful 😭 I hate to say I still believe in trey lance Trey Lance makes me very uncomfortable.
...
. Lance doesn't figure to see much action for Dallas in 2024, but he remains an intriguing developmental option for the Cowboys—especially with Dak Prescott entering a contract year..
