The Cowboys continue to look at outside quarterback options. On Tuesday, the team auditioned Baylor product Seth Russell, according to David Smoak of ESPN Central Texas (Twitter link).
“The workout went really, really well,” Russell said. “Scouts said they were going to send the film to the coaches and then they would let me know in 2-4 weeks, maybe sooner. They said I looked a lot stronger and had more zip on the ball. Legs looked really good and athletic.”
Russell was not drafted this year and he was not able to make the Raiders’ 90-man roster after participating in their rookie minicamp in May. However, the local kid’s skillset might still appeal to Dallas coaches. From his perspective, it sounds like he has a chance of getting signed.
The Cowboys have been searching for QBs to give them additional support after Dak Prescott and Kellen Moore. Right now, UDFA Cooper Rush and Zac Dysert occupy spots on the 90-man roster, but one of those two players could theoretically get bumped for Russell.
Speaking of former Baylor scrub QBs…..who gets contract 1st, RG3 or Kap….pick ur poison…?
