Other players to replace?

Will Grier can be a part of the team in replacement with Dak Prescott. He is currently eligible for a promotion and at least three one-week call-ups from the scout team. However, during his rookie season he struggled in the 16-17 week only completing 53% of his passes.

In terms of possibilities outside the organization, it’s likely that the Cowboys will try to re-sign free agent Ben DiNucci, who was dismissed during final cuts after spending two years on and off the practice squad.
