The team is 3-7 going into their Sunday, November 24, matchup against the Washington Commanders, and they won\u2019t be back with their franchise quarterback Dak Prescott for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the Cowboys need a miracle, and they may have one. One of the league\u2019s highest profile franchise quarterbacks just split with his team, and now, he\u2019s available.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Former New York Giants Quarterback Daniel Jones is a Favorite to Sign with the Dallas Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>New York Giants franchise quarterback Daniel Jones was skating on thin ice all season, and he officially parted ways with the Giants on Friday, November 22.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDaniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way,\u201d Giants president John Mara wrote in an official statement on X.<\/p>\n<p>The move left a scurry of NFL analysts and experts naming top landing spots for Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Christian D\u2019Andrea of USA Today\u2019s For the Win names the Dallas Cowboys as Jones\u2019 No. 1 landing spot.<\/p>\n<p>In a November 22 feature, D\u2019Andrea notes that the Cowboys\u2019 season is toast and that\u00a0ESPN gives Dallas\u00a0a less than one percent chance to make it to the playoffs. That\u2019s pretty dismal.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Andrea adds that \u201cDallas isn\u2019t merely losing games; it\u2019s getting embarrassed in them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true that the Cowboys haven\u2019t won a game at home this season and they lost four of those games by at least 24 points, making for quite a bit of bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Jones comes in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDak Prescott\u2019s injury gave way to Cooper Rush, who is playing roughly like you\u2019d expect Cooper Rush to play,\u201d D\u2019Andrea noted. \u201cSigning Jones probably wouldn\u2019t give him enough time to face his former team (and Tommy DeVito) on Thanksgiving, but it would help elevate the Cowboys\u2019 offense as they limp through the final third of the 2024 regular season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones \u201ctook a flier on Trey Lance last year\u201d and that Jones could also do that with Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Jones happens to play well enough to stick in the craw of the division rival who released him, well, that\u2019s a bonus,\u201d D\u2019Andrea later added.<\/p>\n<p>As D\u2019Andrea noted, what\u2019s especially exciting about this new quarterback possibility is that Jones and the Cowboys could, in theory, take on the Giants on Thanksgiving Day. That game is less than a week away, however, so it might be a stretch to get Jones suited up by them. Regardless, all eyes are on the Cowboys to see if they make this move.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Coach Mike McCarthy Says Daniel Jones \u2018Was a Prospect I Really Liked\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is already fielding questions about Jones possibly joining the fold.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the press on Friday, McCarthy was asked about the possibility of signing Jones right before Dallas plays New York on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never really been in the business of looking at players based off the team they are released from, especially with the timing of the next game,\u201d McCarthy said per Jon Machota of The Athletic. \u201cHe was a prospect I really liked coming out, but we kind of have our head down right now and really focused on working with the guys we have here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter covering the NFL and college football for Heavy.com.
