The Dallas Cowboys have Dak Prescott under contract for at least four more seasons, but his quarterback room is going to look different in 2025.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are free agents looing for new deals, and Cowboys chief operating officer and co-owner Stephen Jones recently revealed that adding a young signal-caller via the draft is something Dallas is focusing on.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cYou know, I think one of our goals is to get a young quarterback in the draft,\u201d Jones\u00a0told\u00a0The Dallas Morning News\u00a0at the\u00a0NFL\u00a0Scouting Combine. \u201cI don\u2019t know where that\u2019s going to be.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we gave a [fourth-round pick] for Trey. It seems like all the quarterbacks, even guys we have in the fourth round, go in the first. They always go so much higher than what you think.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jones said they \u201cthink the world\u201d of Lance, but that he will probably be looking for something different now that he\u2019s a free agent.<\/p>\n

Jones is also worried Rush could be too expensive to re-sign relative to what the Cowboys want to spend for a backup quarterback. That means one is likely coming in the draft.<\/p>\n
