InsideTheStar.com gives a brief breakdown of the Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks and a potential contingency plan.
"The Cowboys aren’t fostering a quarterback battle—they’re creating a quarterback contingency plan. Prescott is the leader today, Milton is the project for tomorrow, and the team benefits from stability at the most important position. In 2025, Dallas is not just aiming for a deep playoff run—they’re ensuring that, no matter what happens, their season doesn’t hinge on the health of just one player."

KaVontae Turping is poised for a breakout year with high praise from Schottenheimer and comparisons to CeeDee Lamb, along with his increased role in the offense.
“The guy is just a dynamic weapon," Schottenheimer said of Turpin via Jon Machota at the Athletic. “The things he can do running and catching and the quickness and agility that he has is just different. I feel like we got a much better sense for how we’re using him. Late in practice we kind of moved CeeDee outside and Turp went inside. Those guys are a little bit interchangeable. I think he’s going to have a fabulous year. I really do, in every facet.”
