It was pretty late in the offseason to be finding a starting job. He might have had a chance if he had been cut at the start of FA.
As it stands now, he still has a chance of starting if Dak refuses to play on his franchise tag. He also doesn't have to move (he already owns a home there) and he gets to be back around his family.
Plus if he does get to play he will have 2 All-Pro OL, an All-Pro RB, a 4x Pro Bowl WR (somehow Amari Cooper is still only 26 in 2020?), and a 17th overall pick WR. It's a pretty sweet setup as far as supporting cast goes.
