Trey Lance trade rumors have taken over the 49ers’ offseason since NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported that San Francisco has received several calls about the third-year quarterback. While the discussion revolves around whether the 49ers should move on from the 2021 No. 3 overall pick, general manager John Lynch on Monday downplayed the imminence of a deal.
Lance, 22, is entering his third NFL season and sits at No. 2 on the 49ers’ depth chart behind a healthy Brock Purdy. Purdy’s apparent place as the team’s presumed franchise signal caller has turned Lance into a potentially expendable piece. Lynch, however, downplayed any trade talks involving the QB.
