When Brock Purdy took over as the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Trey Lance was left without a spot. That led to a trade with the Dallas Cowboys, who sent a fourth-round pick to the 49ers for the former North Dakota State quarterback.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones recently joined 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM) to discuss his thoughts on Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels, the players who followed Dan Quinn from Dallas to Washington and more. Here are some highlights, edited for length and clarity:

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys face a very interesting decision before the final stretch of the season. Daniel Jones could be an option considering Cooper Rush and Trey Lance haven't delivered. Jerry Jones needs to make a final decision about the future of the Dallas Cowboys this season.

Daniel Jones told reporters Thursday that he gave the team everything he had after being taken sixth overall in the 2019 draft and he believes he still has a future in the NFL. He held himself accountable for the Giants (2-8) making the postseason once in his tenure as the starter.

They also brought in veteran Will Grier to be their third, emergency quarterback, but Dallas, along with the NFL's 31 other teams, has a shot to add a six-year NFL veteran with plenty of starting experience in quarterback Daniel Jones.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones was recently asked on 105.3 The Fan about the return on the investment in trading for Trey Lance.

Lance has yet to receive an extended look with the Cowboys, appearing in only one regular-season game since joining the roster.
