The Cowboys will keep Trey Lance for at least one more year to see what they have in the quarterback.
As expected, Dallas will exercise the $4.25 million roster bonus for 2024, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports. The money is due this summer.
That means Lance will count $5.3 million against this year’s salary cap.
The Cowboys sent a fourth-round pick to the 49ers for Lance, the third overall pick in 2021, just before the start of the 2023 season. He did not play a down, spending the season as the Cowboys’ third quarterback.
The team will not exercise Lance’s fifth-year option, which would guarantee him $22.4 million in 2025, putting him in line for free agency in 2025.
Lance started four games for the 49ers, going 2-2 with 797 passing yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions.
