One team in desperate need of help at quarterback is the\u00a0Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>The Panthers also happen to have former Pro Bowl running back\u00a0Miles Sanders\u00a0deep on the team\u2019s depth chart. Dallas has a pair of signal-callers in\u00a0Cooper Rush\u00a0and\u00a0Trey Lance. Could Dallas explore a potential trade for one of these backup quarterbacks?<\/p>\n<p>Both players are slated to hit free agency in 2025. For the Panthers purposes, the team would likely prefer to land Rush, who can play right way. Like\u00a0Bryce Young, Lance looks to be more of a developmental player at this point in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Swapping Rush for Sanders makes some sense for Dallas. Sanders\u2019 four-year,\u00a0$25.4 million contract\u00a0is slated to run through the 2026 season. The Panthers do have an out in Sanders\u2019 deal this offseason and can release the running back while taking a $2.9 million cap hit.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having a $7.6 million cap hit this season, Sanders has just 12 carries for 42 rushing yards through the first two games. Not exactly the usage rate that lives up to his $25 million contract.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys QB Cooper Rush Could Be an Upgrade for the Panthers Over Andy Dalton<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5146217\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"h-responsive\">\n<figure class=\"h-responsive__inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-inline wp-image-5146217 visible\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DALL%C2%B7E-2024-09-16-19.10.10-A-comic-book-style-graphic-featuring-Dallas-Cowboys-quarterback-Cooper-Rush-wearing-a-Cowboys-helmet-and-holding-up-the-front-of-a-Carolina-Panthers-j-e1726528660219.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"Cooper Rush\" width=\"782\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5146217\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DALL%C2%B7E-2024-09-16-19.10.10-A-comic-book-style-graphic-featuring-Dallas-Cowboys-quarterback-Cooper-Rush-wearing-a-Cowboys-helmet-and-holding-up-the-front-of-a-Carolina-Panthers-j-e1726528660219.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5146217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption-credit\">Heavy on Cowboys<\/span>The Dallas Cowboys could explore a potential trade with the Carolina Panthers for Cooper Rush.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>For now, Carolina is starting former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton. Rush could be an upgrade for the Panthers at the position.<\/p>\n<p>As for Sanders, a strong argument can be made that the former Pro Bowler would immediately be the best running back on the Cowboys roster. Sanders is coming off the worst statistical season of his career, posting 129 carries for 432 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Sanders also had the lowest number of carries in his career as well. Sanders had a Pro Bowl campaign with Cowboys\u2019 nemesis Philadelphia Eagles in 2022. The playmaker posted 259 rushes for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns while playing in all 17 matchups for Philly in 2022.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Trading Cooper Rush Would Mean the Cowboys Trust Trey Lance<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5146226\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"h-responsive\">\n<figure class=\"h-responsive__inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-inline wp-image-5146226 visible\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DALL%C2%B7E-2024-09-16-19.21.42-A-comic-book-style-graphic-featuring-Dallas-Cowboys-quarterback-Cooper-Rush-wearing-a-number-10-Carolina-Panthers-jersey.-Cooper-Rush-is-depicted-with-e1726843780665.webp?w=782\" alt=\"Carolina Panthers\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5146226\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DALL%C2%B7E-2024-09-16-19.21.42-A-comic-book-style-graphic-featuring-Dallas-Cowboys-quarterback-Cooper-Rush-wearing-a-number-10-Carolina-Panthers-jersey.-Cooper-Rush-is-depicted-with-e1726843780665.webp?w=782\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5146226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption-credit\">Heavy on Cowboys<\/span>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush could make some sense for the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The tradeoff for the Cowboys in this potential deal is Lance would become the first line of defense behind\u00a0Dak Prescott. Lance would be one play away from being inserted into action, and the quarterback did not look ready in preseason action.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Sanders could emerge as an immediate starter for Dallas. Sanders is already behind Chuba Hubbard and the Panthers used a high draft pick on rookie running back Jonathon Brooks. When the playmaker recovers from injury, Sanders is likely to drop even further down the Panthers depth chart.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Cowboys Could Turn to Dalvin Cook Sooner Rather Than Later<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Miles Sanders today:<\/p>\n<p>17 carries, 145 yards, 2 TDs<\/p>\n<p>Have a day.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"ql-video\" src=\"https:\/\/video.twimg.com\/amplify_video\/1602040891488669697\/vid\/1920x1080\/getIW87DH2pAAtDb.mp4?tag=16\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\">\n<p>For now, the Cowboys could turn to former Pro Bowler\u00a0Dalvin Cook\u00a0for potential answers with their rushing attack.\u00a0Rico Dowdle\u00a0and\u00a0Ezekiel Elliott have underwhelmed with their opportunities through the first two games.
