Trey Lance played all 93 snaps for the Dallas Cowboys in the team’s preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, but it’s safe to say things did not go exactly according to plan as he threw five interceptions in the game, including one that was returned for a touchdown in the other direction. But despite this, it sounds like he will still make the team’s final roster.
During a press conference after the game, Dallas Cowboys team owner and general manager Jerry Jones made it clear that despite the unfortunate showing for Trey Lance, he “saw some good” from the quarterback and said he would be on the roster “for sure.”
“I saw some good, and I saw some things you’d like to have back,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “I hate that those five interceptions are going to be a stat on a game that I couldn’t have asked for more reps and a better situation to watch him play. He needed that, because the one thing he’s missing more than anything is the lack of reps much less NFL reps.
“Certainly, we’re planning on him being on our roster for sure.”
It’s worth noting that Lance is scheduled to count $5.310 million against the salary cap this season and with all the money guaranteed, so there was little question that he would be on the roster even despite the poor showing on Saturday.
