Trey Lance Blasts Cowboys for Ruining His Career in Brutal Rant

Dallas, TX – June 18, 2025

Trey Lance just dropped a dagger on Cowboys Nation. The former Dallas QB, acquired in a hyped-up 2023 trade for a fourth-round pick, torched the team on The Herd, claiming the Cowboys tanked his career. “They buried me and broke my confidence,” he fumed. Fans are livid, and this flop is one for the ages.

Lance, 25, was Jerry Jones’ big bet—a No. 3 overall pick from 2021 with star potential. But in two years with Dallas, he threw zero regular-season passes and imploded in the 2024 preseason, tossing five picks against the Chargers. Now struggling with the Bolts in 2025, Lance says the Cowboys failed him. “No reps, no trust, just a bench spot,” he raged. “They killed my shot.”

X exploded. “Lance blaming us? He couldn’t outplay Rush!” snapped @StarFanatic. Others, like @Dallas4Real, sympathized: “Jerry hyped him up, then ditched him. Dirty move.” The trade, meant to spark QB2 competition, cost a pick that could’ve been a starter like Caelen Carson.

Jones shrugged it off, calling it a “gamble” on Dallas Morning News. Coach Brian Schottenheimer fired back: “Trey had his chance. Dak’s our guy.” But Lance’s 2024 camp struggles—per The Athletic’s Jon Machota—showed he never meshed with Dallas’ system.

With the Cowboys rocking 8-3 in 2025, led by Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, this Lance disaster stings. Was it Jerry’s misfire or Lance’s failure? Fans want answers. @CowboysRant summed it up: “Trey was a bust, but Jerry sold us a pipe dream.”
