Cowboys are Reportedly Looking at Cam Newton to Backup Dak Prescott

SJ - August 31, 2021

The Dallas Cowboys are one of several teams that could use an upgrade at backup quarterback. They're currently entering the season with Cooper Rush as the backup quarterback after cutting both Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci.

According to reports, the Cowboys are looking at Cam Newton to fill the role of Dak Prescott's backup.

My understanding is the Dallas #Cowboys will do their due diligence in reviewing QB Cameron Newton's newfound availability, per sources.

Will look at it all across the board with additional talent hitting the market, including today.

The #Cowboys will “begin exploring Cam Newton” as a potential backup to Dak Prescott, per source. Dallas just cut two QBs in Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci. Prescott’s current backup is 27-year-old Cooper Rush, who has just one career completion.

You know the saying, one man's trash is another one's backup quarterback. There's a real chance, given Dak's shoulder issues this preseason, that a backup will be taking snaps at some point this season.
