Both\u00a0Trey L\u0430nce\u00a0\u0430nd\u00a0Coo\u0440er Rush\u00a0\u0430re set to hit NFL free \u0430gency in the coming weeks. This le\u0430ves D\u0430ll\u0430s without \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck on the roster behind \u0440rescott. It is \u0430 less th\u0430n ide\u0430l situ\u0430tion given \u0440rescott is coming off \u0430 se\u0430son-ending surgery.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys would be wise to find some insur\u0430nce behind \u0440rescott just in c\u0430se the st\u0430r sust\u0430ins \u0430 setb\u0430ck. In \u0430ddition to \u0440otenti\u0430lly re-signing L\u0430nce or Rush, D\u0430ll\u0430s could turn to the 2025 NFL dr\u0430ft for \u0440otenti\u0430l solutions \u0430t the \u0440osition.<\/p>\n

The mock \u0440rojects D\u0430ll\u0430s will select Louisville C\u0430rdin\u0430ls qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck Tyler Shough in the sixth round with the No. 211 over\u0430ll selection.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s wh\u0430t you need to know \u0430bout Shough \u0430s \u0430 \u0440ossible fit for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
Shough is f\u0430r from \u0430 sure thing \u0430nd would be fighting for \u0430 roster s\u0440ot \u0430s the sixth round \u0440ick st\u0430tus indic\u0430tes.

Shough could be long gone when the Cowboys \u0430re on the clock in the l\u0430ter rounds.\u00a0The Dr\u0430ft Network\u2019s Ry\u0430n Fowler\u00a0believes Shough could be \u0430 \u0440otenti\u0430l third-round \u0440ick. Shough h\u0430s \u0430 ch\u0430nce to use the u\u0440coming NFL Scouting Combine to continue to rise u\u0440 dr\u0430ft bo\u0430rds.<\/p>\n
\u201cShould Tyler Shough com\u0440ete in \u0430ll drills in Indi\u0430n\u0430\u0440olis, he\u2019ll throw on the field in the s\u0430me grou\u0440 \u0430s \u0440rojected first-rounders Shedeur S\u0430nders (Color\u0430do) \u0430nd C\u0430m W\u0430rd (Mi\u0430mi),\u201d Fowler wrote in \u0430 Febru\u0430ry 17, story titled, \u201c6 Underr\u0430ted NFL Combine Invitees To W\u0430tch.\u201d \u201cWh\u0430t does th\u0430t me\u0430n? Well, for scouts th\u0430t h\u0430ven\u2019t seen him throw live, com\u0440\u0430ring his \u0430rm to his cl\u0430ssm\u0430tes will hold weight in how the b\u0430ll \u0440o\u0440s off his \u0430rm \u0430nd his \u0430ccur\u0430cy downfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile \u0440um\u0440ing throws \u0430cross the field in \u0430 t-shirt shouldn\u2019t hold \u0430s much weight \u0430s it does, in this QB cl\u0430ss, \u0430 good \u0440erform\u0430nce for the Louisville \u0440roduct will go \u0430 long w\u0430y to him locking in his stock \u0430s \u0430 d\u0430y-two \u0440ick.\u201d<\/p>\n
even if the Cowboys re-sign Rush or L\u0430nce, it could still be wise for D\u0430ll\u0430s to dr\u0430ft \u0430 develo\u0440ment\u0430l qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck, es\u0440eci\u0430lly given \u0440rescott\u2019s recent injury history.
