The Dallas Cowboys declined the fifth-year team option that would have paid backup quarterback Trey Lance $22.4 million guaranteed in 2025. Lance is the QB2 behind Dak Prescott, who enters the final season of a four-year contract that disqualifies the Cowboys from using the franchise tag to retain him next spring. The Cowboys, who insist they will bring back Prescott with a new contract stretching beyond the upcoming season, acquired Lance from the San Francisco 49ers in August 2023 for a fourth-round pick in the 2024 draft. Lance is not changing teams this summer but will switch numbers, claiming No. 19 and allowing returning running back Ezekiel Elliott to wear No. 15. Dallas owed Lance, the third overall pick in the 2021 draft, a total of $6.5 million in salary and bonuses for two seasons (2023, 2024). The designated starter for the 49ers in 2022, Lance fractured his ankle and set in motion the chain of events that led to then seventh-round rookie Brock Purdy taking over and engineering a playoff run to the NFC Championship Game. Lance has appeared in eight games with four starts since being selected out of North Dakota State in a largely displaced QB draft class topped by Trevor Lawrence (first overall, Jaguars) and Zach Wilson (No. 2, Jets). Wilson was shipped to the Denver Broncos before the draft. Fellow '21 first-rounders Justin Fields (11th, Bears) and Mac Jones (15th, Patriots) were also traded this offseason. --Field Level Media

NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyer Keith Davidson returned to the witness stand in Donald Trump's hush money trial on Thursday following a contempt hearing over whether the former president violated a gag order again.
The number of people arrested in connection with protests on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war has now topped 2,000. The Associated Press has tallied arrests at 35 schools since the protests began at Columbia University on April 18.
A lawyer who negotiated a pair of hush money deals at the center of Donald Trump’s criminal trial is recalling his “gallows humor” reaction to Trump’s 2016 election victory and the realization that his hidden hand efforts might have contributed to the win. Keith Davidson texted “What have we done?” as he watched the election results. He is a key prosecution witness because he represented a porn actor and Playboy model in deals that resulted in their stories of extramarital sexual encounters with Trump being stifled in the run-up to the 2016 election.
Kenya and Tanzania were bracing Thursday for a cyclone on the heels of torrential rains that have devastated East Africa, killing more than 350 people and forcing tens of thousands from their homes.
Hamas says it's sending a delegation to Egypt as soon as possible to continue talks in the latest sign of progress in the fragile cease-fire process. The group’s supreme leader Ismail Haniyeh said Thursday he had spoken to Egypt’s intelligence chief and Hamas negotiators would travel to Cairo "to complete the ongoing discussions with the aim of working forward for an agreement.” But chances for the deal are entangled with the question of whether Israel can accept an end to the war without reaching its stated goal of destroying Hamas. The stakes in the cease-fire negotiations were made clear in a new U.N. report that said if the war in Gaza stops today it will still take until 2040 to rebuild.
Millions of voters in England and Wales have cast their ballots in an array of local elections. The voting on Thursday was the last big test before a U.K. general election that all indicators show will see the Conservative Party ousted from power after 14 years. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will hope he can point to some successes including in a couple of key mayoral races. That would douse talk that the Conservative Party will change its leader once again before the United Kingdom's main election. The leader of the main opposition Labour Party will be hoping that the party is on course to sweep to power for the first time since 2010.
