In theory the trade for Trey Lance was a smart and wise move from the Dallas Cowboys. For years we have all begged for the Cowboys to take a peek at some goods that another team might have fallen out of love with for one reason or another. Shopping for value can sometimes lead to striking gold, and in this particular case the Cowboys went to the original gold chasers in the San Francisco 49ers (not really, but just go with the analogy).
Where the trade for Trey Lance failed to hold water was not necessarily that it cost Dallas a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft that we would all like to be included in our mocks right now.
