The 2016 NFL season kicks off this Thursday night and moves are still being made to trim down teams final rosters. On Saturday afternoon, the Denver Broncos released quarterback Mark Sanchez and just a few hours later, Sanchez agreed to terms on a one year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
According to ESPN,
Sanchez agreed to a one-year deal, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, a few days after the Denver Broncos attempted to trade him to the Cowboys.
The Cowboys felt like they had to do something behind Prescott, who will become just the fourth rookie in franchise history to start a season opener. Roger Staubach started the 1969 opener. Troy Aikman started the 1989 opener. Quincy Carter started the 2001 opener.
Sanchez’s experience gives them some cover if Prescott should falter. Of course, they thought the same of Cassel and he had difficulties getting the ball down the field. Sanchez has a 37-35 record and helped the New York Jets to the playoffs twice, including an appearance in the AFC Championship Game in 2009.
The Dallas Cowboys kick off the 2016 NFL Season on Sunday September 11th at 4:25pm EST as they host the New York Giants. Stay tuned to HHS1987. Follow @eldorado2452 on Twitter and Instagram for all your sports news.
