Former Panthers QB Working Out for Cowboys

Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Jacob Eason is getting another chance in the NFL as he will work out for the Dallas Cowboys, according to Charean Williams of NBC Sports.

Eason, 24, was a 4th-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 NFL Draft, beginning his career with Frank Reich. He spent the first two years of his collegiate career at Georgia before transferring to Washington. In just one year with the Huskies, Eason tossed for 3,132 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.

Eason actually got some game action this season with the Panthers when PJ Walker had to be evaluated for a head/neck injury against the Los Angeles Rams. He nearly led the Panthers to a scoring drive completing 3-of-5 passes for 59 yards but was intercepted on a forced ball into the end zone.

Eason was released by the Panthers alongside wide receiver Preston Williams last month.
