This news comes as rather surprising for everyone as the Cowboys had a sorted QBs situation with Prescott & Rush.

Dallas see Lance as their future QB

This gives hint that Cowboys see him as their future QB to succeed Prescott when time's right.

Dak Prescott

[{"selector":"#anim-de0c8c89-2564-4b7c-ad98-d74501a6ee5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d063a4d-0156-4e94-9172-eabd2953cc10","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9701b77-604a-491e-a88a-9875513b90c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07dada2b-8a3c-4a1d-b40e-978742e9cf6e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] If the Cowboys don't win the Super Bowl by the time Dak Prescott becomes a free agent in 2025, he might not get a new contract.

[{"selector":"#anim-659b4dd9-2809-4a2f-b455-6dc87692e6d1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-410d3d35-3ffa-41d9-ae17-4b2a2ca8c5b3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] It was a wise move for the Cowboys to sign a young, talented quarterback. He might succeed in the league with time and the right coaching.

If the current QB continues to play well, Lance becomes an asset as backup or can get traded for valuable assets in return.
