The 49ers have been fielding calls from other teams regarding interest in trading for quarterback Trey Lance, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. San Francisco is likely going with second-year quarterback Brock Purdy as the team’s future starter.
Lance was selected with the No. 3 pick in the 2021 NFL draft and started his career as Jimmy Garoppolo’s backup with the expectation that he’d take over as starter eventually. He did just that in 2022—for just two games. Lance suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 2 and it led to Garoppolo taking over under center despite the team openly looking to trade him.
