Trey Lance Trade To The Raiders Soon? Preseason Performance Fuels Trade Speculation

With the pressure on after a shaky performance last week, Trey Lance stepped up in a big way against the Raiders, showcasing the skills that once made him a top draft pick. Lance looked more decisive and focused, threading passes into tight windows, throwing with anticipation, and reading the defense with improved precision.

Lance led three scoring drives, including an impressive 35-yard march covered in just 28 seconds to close the half, capped off by a 66-yard field goal from Aubrey. He also connected with Ryan Flournoy for a touchdown pass and added 34 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground, proving his dual-threat capabilities.

Lance’s strong showing has reignited discussions about his role on the Cowboys’ roster, especially with only one week remaining in the preseason. If he can replicate or improve upon this performance, it could spark serious debate about his future in Dallas.

The Raiders, in particular, may be watching closely. After last night’s preseason matchup, some have speculated that the Raiders should consider making a move for Lance before the trade deadline, potentially offering a first or second-round pick. With Lance set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season and Dak Prescott likely to be re-signed, the Cowboys might be tempted to capitalize on Lance’s value now.

Alternatively, some suggest that the Raiders could aim even higher by pursuing Dak Prescott himself, given the Cowboys’ reluctance to pay Dak market value and their investment in Lance. With the Cowboys potentially looking to pay less for their quarterback in the future, the idea of trading Dak for draft capital could make sense for both sides.

As the preseason winds down, all eyes will be on Lance to see if he can continue to make a case for his future—whether it’s in Dallas or elsewhere.
