DALLAS Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance is set to make some decent money in 2024.
The team will reportedly pick up the ex-No. 3 overall NFL pick’s $4.25 million roster bonus.

That would take Lance’s 2024 earnings to $5.31 million, per The Dallas Morning News.
The roster bonus is due five days after training camp begins in July, according to the outlet.
Dallas reportedly didn’t consider cutting their third-string quarterback, 23, believing he registered significant progress after arriving from the San Francisco 49ers in a trade last year.
However, the report added, the Cowboys won’t pick up Lance’s fifth-year option, which would see him pocket $22.4 million in 2025.
The team has to make the decision until five days after the 2024 NFL Draft, taking place between April 25-27.
The Minnesota native is expected to compete for the role of Dak Prescott’s backup with Cooper Rush in training camp.
Dallas is set to spend $67.6 million on quarterbacks next season, per Spotrac.
Most of that money will go to Prescott, who’s owed $59.46 million in the last year of his four-year deal.
The Cowboys are yet to sign their starting QB to a new extension.
It’s uncertain whether they will start the negotiations before his current contract expires.
Running back Tony Pollard’s future is also unknown.
Dallas isn’t expected to franchise-tag Pollard, allowing him to hit free agency later this month.
Owner Jerry Jones has said he plans to go “all-in” this offseason, trying to build a Super Bowl-caliber roster.
But Jones failed to clarify what exactly he meant by that at the NFL Scouting Combine this week, per Cowboys reporter Michael Gehlken.
