The report indicates that Dallas could pursue the Cleveland Browns’ Josh McCown or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Mike Glennon, who are respectively stuck behind Robert Griffin III and Jameis Winston.

But as of now the situation remains in limbo.
It should be noted that the Cowboys drafted Dak Prescott in the fourth-round of this year’s draft and at the moment, he’s the QB2.
Neither Prescott nor Showers has ever thrown a pass in an National Football League game. He’ll also get a full training camp in the Cowboys’ system with no real expectation that he start. We actually discussed this possibility during our “Where In The World is Johnny Football” segment of episode 9 of The Sports Bloggers Podcast (check it out below if you haven’t already!). The fit makes sense for both parties, and now it is just a matter of time before we see if the two sides can reach an agreement. We don’t have to be and shouldn’t be as urgent as it might look like.
Speaking of the race for the NFC East title, things won’t be as easy for the Cowboys as one might expect: Behind a surprisingly strong season out of quarterback Kirk Cousins, the Washington Redskins came out of nowhere to claim the division crown in 2015. “We just don’t know”. “What it is, we’re not in that big a hurry”. Foles, with 35 starts over the past four seasons, was released by the Los Angeles Rams last week.
It allows the young quarterbacks to get their reps and not serve as progress stoppers. He will need surgery and is expected to be out a minimum of six to eight weeks.
On Thursday, head coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said while the team explores what veterans might be available, they plan to take things day to day. Should the Cowboys be moving at a quicker pace to find a backup?
Foles grew up in Austin and was a Cowboys’ fan before the Eagles drafted him in the third round of the 2012 Draft out of the University of Arizona.
Dallas doesn’t have Darren McFadden and Lance Dunbar ready to come off PUP yet, so Alfred Morris can be prepared to be the top guy in practices this week. You could have gotten him pretty cheap from the Rams if you had really been interested.
The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a new season with high expectations and increasing hope that they would get deeper into the playoffs.
The Bucs also waived No. 4 quarterback Dan LeFevour to make room on the roster. I think T.J. Yates, Matt Flynn, and Jimmy Clausen are the best options for the Cowboys.
“Rookie or not, you’ve got to be doing something to contribute”.

“That’s good”, Prescott said. “He has some really good qualities that our coaching staff is excited about”. You learn to appreciate it. It’s a handsome uniform, they look good.
