Commanders LB Jamin Davis said he’s going to play with a chip on his shoulder after the team declined his fifth-year option.
“It’s always going to be another chip on your shoulder, but at the end of the day you can’t sit back against the ball and upset about anything,” he said, via Commanders Wire. “It’s just another chance to go out there and prove why you deserve your attention next year.”
Dallas acquired QB Trey Lance in a trade last season and declined his fifth-year option as expected. With Lance set to hit free agency after the season, Cowboys OC Brian Schottenheimer plans to give Lance as many reps as possible before the season starts.
“We know Dak [Prescott]. We know ‘Coop’ [Rush]. [Lance] is the question mark,” Schottenheimer said, via Clarence Hill of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. “There’s so much he doesn’t know that he’s got to figure out. And so that’s what’s exciting about that if he can be he can be a really good player because he’s wired the right way and the way he works. We just got to give them the opportunity to show us that with the year under his belt and being comfortable.”
“It’s gonna be all about getting him a ton of reps throughout OTAs, mini camp, and then training camp. You’re gonna see him getting a ton right leading into the preseason.”
