report:dallas cowboys target to sign the biggest star from seahawks..

Analyst believes the Cowboys and Seahawks could make a surprise trade for a quarterback.

According to Dallas Cowboys rumors, Dak Prescott appears to be the team’s franchise quarterback. Geno Smith’s inconsistent play in 2023 has made things far less certain for the Seattle Seahawks.

Prescott has not only established himself as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback, but he is also a candidate for NFL MVP. Dallas must still make a decision about the position’s future. Prescott, Cooper Rush, and Trey Lance are all signed through 2024.

Prescott’s cap hit for next season is set to be a whopping $59.4 million. This puts pressure on the Cowboys front office to extend the signal-caller’s contract.

Lance’s cap hit in 2024 will be $5.3 million as part of a four-year, $34 million rookie contract. Rush has a $2.8 million cap hit next season as part of a two-year, $5 million deal.

Because of these factors, as well as the uncertainty in Seattle, 33rd Team’s Connor Livesay believes the two teams could be trade partners for Lance. Let’s look at why a trade could benefit both teams.

Lance is still likely to have some clout in the NFL, given that he was the No. 3 pick in the 2021 NFL draft less than three years ago. To add Lance as their third quarterback, the Cowboys gave up a fourth-round pick to the 49ers prior to the season. With several teams dealing with injuries and uncertainty, quarterback play in the NFL is less than stellar.

Lance has yet to play for Dallas, but he still has trade value. Livesay lists the Seahawks, Saints, and Vikings as potential trade partners for Lance. Dallas has the luxury of having Rush on the roster as a backup for Prescott in 2024.

While Dallas could slide Lance into the QB2 role next season, Rush is under contract for just $2.87 million against the cap, according to Spotrac,” Livesay wrote in a December 8, 2023 feature titled “Surprising NFL Players Who Could Be Traded This Offseason.” “If the Cowboys stick with Rush at QB2, they could start calling quarterback-needy teams that missed out on Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels in the 2024 NFL Draft.

“Lance might raise the ceiling on Dallas’ QB2 spot, but the Cowboys could get a better return for Lance than what they paid from teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints or Seattle Seahawks. If those teams miss out on the top passers in the draft, they could see Lance as a viable option.”

Last offseason, Seattle signed Smith to a three-year, $75 million contract. The Seahawks are on a three-game losing streak entering Week 14, and Smith has already thrown nine interceptions this season. This has sparked numerous Seahawks rumors about Smith’s future.

A move for Lance could be a good compromise for Seattle while allowing them to keep Smith. The Seahawks are expected to have the No. 15 pick in the upcoming draft, which means that several of the top quarterback prospects will most likely be passed over.

Seattle can release Smith as soon as 2024, but it will incur a $17.4 million dead cap hit. Acquiring Lance would be a low-cost move that would provide Smith with competition.

Lance has only appeared in eight NFL games, with only four of those appearances being starts. The 6-foot-4, 226-pound quarterback has significantly more potential than current backup Drew Lock. Both the Seahawks and the Cowboys face decisions at the position that could pave the way for a trade.

Regardless, Cowboys rumors about what the team will do with Lance and Rush are bound to circulate.
