  49ers | Trey Lance traded    Sat Aug 26, 12:32 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance was traded to the Dallas Cowboys Friday, Aug. 25, in exchange for a fourth-round draft choice, according to sources.

Footballguys view: The 49ers gave up a lot to move up to the no.3 overall pick just a few years ago in order to select Lance. However, things change quickly around here. Lance has been injured and inconsistent during his short pro career, and it's best for him to get a fresh start. The writing on the wall was here when the 49ers picked up Sam Darnold - who they've coveted for some time - earlier this offseason. When Darnold won the backup job behind Brock Purdy, it was time to cut their losses with Lance and move on.

  Cowboys | Dallas acquires Trey Lance    Sat Aug 26, 12:22 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance was acquired by the Dallas Cowboys Friday, Aug. 25, in exchange for a fourth-round draft choice, according to sources.

Footballguys view: This is a good move for the Cowboys. Lance was a former top-5 pick just a few years ago, and he gets a fresh start with a new team. If he can stay healthy and play up to his potential, Lance could develop into a quality starter. For now, Lance gets to learn behind Dak Prescott. There's no doubt Prescott is the starter for the next couple of seasons, but he's set to hit free agency in 2025.

  49ers | Trey Lance being shopped    Thu Aug 24, 10:28 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance is being shopped after QB Sam Darnold was named backup quarterback. He's due $5 million fully guaranteed next season.

Footballguys view: The former no.3 overall pick hasn't been able to do much in his pro career. Injuries and bad play have limited his time under center for the 49ers, but he could benefit from a fresh start. We'll see if someone wants to take a chance on a young player with a big arm and the athleticism coveted in modern quarterbacks.

  49ers | Sam Darnold beats out Trey Lance    Wed Aug 23, 02:56 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Sam Darnold is set to be named the team's No. 2 quarterback and the Niners will explore their options with QB Trey Lance, per sources on Wednesday, Aug. 23.

Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Darnold has been impressive in camp and the preseason with the 49ers, and this coaching staff has coveted his ability for quite some time. Now, the question becomes what do they do with Lance. The no.3 overall pick has flashed a bit, but he lost the starting job to a seventh-round pick (Brock Purdy) and now can't beat out a guy in Darnold who has been an average-at-best starter with a few different teams. We'll see if the 49ers can find some team interested in dealing for Lance.

  49ers | QB Purdy on Track for Opener    Thu Jul 13, 03:45 PM

Matt Maiocco, from NBC Sports Bay Area said San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy 's rehab is on schedule, and he is on track to start the season opener, having experienced no setbacks. The team hopes that Purdy can return at some point late in training camp.

Footballguys view: We doubt that Purdy gets much if any action in the preseason. Things have been on track with his progress, and Purdy being out there as the starter in Week 1 of the regular season is not outlandish to project. That means the 49ers will get a lot of time to see who wins the primary backup job between Sam Darnold and Trey Lance.

  49ers | Trey Lance showing progress    Sat May 20, 01:13 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance has made a 'substantial jump' as a passer, according to his private quarterbacks coach, Jeff Christensen.

Footballguys view: Listen to the drumbeats. Earlier in his career, there was not this much positive buzz around Lance. In fact, there were mostly concerns about Lance learning the complex playbook of Kyle Shanahan and there were rumblings about arm fatigue he may have suffered during his rookie year. Now, there seems to be a steady drumbeat of positive reports around the young quarterback. With Brock Purdy (elbow) banged up, Lance has a chance to earn the starting job in training camp. It's also important to note that Christensen helped Chiefs superstar QB Patrick Mahomes hone his game as a passer as well. Lance has reportedly learned from watching Mahomes work. Keep tabs on this situation.

  49ers | Trey Lance could reclaim starting job    Tue Mar 28, 01:59 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance is expected to share first-team reps with Sam Darnold this offseason while Brock Purdy recovers from elbow surgery, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Per Shanahan, Lance has 'a chance' to regain the starting job, but it will be harder for him to do so than it was at the start of last season.'I think it's going to be harder for him to (win the starting QB job). Brock played eight games. Trey had that job going into last season and if he would've played eight games like that, no one else would've been able to come in and beat him out. But with Brock being hurt, it does open him up. It does give him a chance. .. I don't know how Brock's going to come back. I don't know exactly when he's going to come back. So, I don't have an exact answer for that. But right now, because he is hurt, it's nice to focus on Trey, it's nice to focus on Sam and see how they do at OTAs and - most likely - see how they're playing leading into training camp because I think it will take some time for Brock,' Shanahan told reporters at the league's annual meeting.

  49ers | Purdy's Job to Lose?    Thu Feb 9, 05:03 PM

San Francisco 49ers' TE George Kittle was interviewed on the "Voncast" by Von Miller when he stated that the quarterback job was Brock Purdy's to lose in 2023.

Footballguys view: That sounds about right based on the way that Purdy played. It also sounds about right based on the way Lance played in 2022. He wasn't out there long before getting hurt, but Lance did not look polished. Purdy, who does not have the physical talent of Lance, led the 49ers deep into the postseason and showed the game was not too big for him. We'll see these two battle it out in training camp for the starting job.

  49ers | No Chance of Garoppolo in 2023    Wed Feb 1, 05:19 PM

Matt Maiocco, from NBC Sports Bay Area, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he sees no scenario in which QB Jimmy Garoppolo is back with the #49ers for the 2023 season.

Footballguys view: It's best for both sides to move on. Garoppolo was not dealt before the 2022 season, and he ended up playing valuable snaps as the starter until he was hurt and rookie QB Brock Purdy took over (until he got hurt). With former no.3 overall pick Trey Lance also coming back from injury, the 49ers are likely to have him compete with Purdy for the starting job in training camp. Garoppolo should be able to find a starting job somewhere else, or at the very least he could compete for a spot somewhere else in 2023.

  49ers | Trey Lance confident in recovery    Tue Jan 31, 02:46 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance (ankle) told reporters he is 'three to four weeks' away from being cleared for practice and anticipates being '100 percent' for organized team activities this spring.

Footballguys view: Who knows what the future for Lance holds? The 49ers may want to add a quarterback like Tom Brady in free agency this offseason. Add in the play of Brock Purdy on their way to the NFC Championship Game, and Lance is no lock to be the team's starter for the 2023 season.

  49ers | Trey Lance expected to remain with team    Thu Jan 19, 01:41 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance (ankle) is not expected to be traded in the offseason, regardless of the play of QB Brock Purdy, in the opinion of NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, who notes that Lance would count $9.3 million against the salary cap if he's on the team but $20.15 million if he's traded. Maiocco writes that he does not believe the 49ers would 'remotely consider' trading away Lance during the offseason.

Footballguys view: The future is uncertain for the former no.3 overall pick. His rookie season was spent developing, and his second season was spent recovering from injury. Lance has not 'clicked' in this system the way we instantly see QB Brock Purdy do that. If he's not traded away, and the team doesn't add QB Tom Brady this offseason, then Lance and Purdy should battle in training camp for the starting job.

  49ers | Trey Lance undergoes ankle surgery    Mon Sep 19, 01:47 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance (ankle) underwent surgery to repair his fractured and dislocated ankle Monday, Sept. 19.

Footballguys view: Bad news for the young quarterback here, but there is a small bit of silver lining. Per multiple reports, Lance will be sidelined for the entire 2022 season but was able to avoid a compound fracture similar to the one Cowboys QB Dak Prescott suffered in 2020. The 49ers now turn to Jimmy Garoppolo as their starting quarterback. We'll see if Lance can be counted on as the starter in 2023, or if the 49ers bring in another passer to at least compete with him for the starting job.

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance (leg) was carted off in the first quarter of the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an apparent right leg injury. He had an air cast on the lower leg area.

Footballguys view: Lance likely suffered an ankle dislocation/fracture. He's almost certainly done for the year. It's a tragic development for Lance, who is only 22. For fantasy, this is actually a good development for the 49ers passing game and maybe their offense as a whole.

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance completed just 13-of-28 passes for 164 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears while running 13 times for a game-high 54 yards.

Footballguys view: Lance was a fantasy dud, and we might think twice about starting him until he makes us regret benching him. The conditions were terrible and it's not fair to judge Lance on this result, but it still moves the team closer to considering Jimmy Garoppolo because of the result. The Seahawks are up next week for San Francisco.

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance completed 4-of-5 passes for 92 yards and one touchdown while also adding one carry for seven yards in the preseason opener.

Footballguys view: Lance was fantastic in the preseason opener, giving hope to the 49ers that he can build momentum for the start of the regular season. He's rough around the edges as a quarterback, but Lance has the elite-level ability when he plays up to his potential. His rushing ability makes him a QB1 from a fantasy perspective, and nobody is going to be shocked if he finishes 2022 as a top-10 fantasy quarterback.

  49ers | Trey Lance might play in preseason opener    Tue Aug 9, 11:02 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance might play in the preseason opener, but head coach Kyle Shanahan is still thinking about it. 'I don't know. I haven't totally thought about it yet,' Shanahan said on Tuesday, Aug. 9. 'Right now, my gut is exactly what I said. That could change after these two practices and what we see out there, but I'd definitely like to get him out there this week.'

Footballguys view: Lance needs all the work he can get. A top-3 pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Lance spent most of his rookie season learning the system on the bench behind Jimmy Garoppolo. Now, the team has turned over the reins of the offense to the second-year pro. Lance is talented but needs reps, so the team might play in the preseason opener while most starting quarterbacks don't play in that game.

  49ers | Trey Lance struggles Sunday    Sun Aug 7, 04:52 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance had his worst practice of training camp on Sunday, Aug. 7, writes Rob Lowder of the Striking Gold podcast. '[Lance] finished 4-of-12 with a pair of receiver drops, a dropped interception by CB Charvarius Ward and an interception thrown straight to LB Fred Warner. Hard not to wince at some of Lance's throws today.'

Footballguys view: Lance is the starting quarterback for the 49ers, but the second-year pro is going to be rough around the edges as a passer. This is all part of the process when it comes to building him up in the offense. Lance is a fantastic rusher, and that gives him plenty of fantasy value. A top-10 finish in fantasy leagues is quite possible for the young man.

  49ers | Trey Lance the unquestioned starting QB now    Tue Jul 26, 03:01 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance was given a clear endorsement as the team's starting quarterback by head coach Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday, July 26.'This is Trey's team. That's nothing against Jimmy (Garoppolo). We made that decision a year ago. We're not going to mess around with that anymore. Jimmy understands that fully. He's a big guy. Nothing against him. It's a business decision,' Shanahan told reporters Tuesday.

Footballguys view: Lance is the guy, and Garoppolo is the backup...for now. Garoppolo could get traded before the start of the regular season. The 49ers might also keep him around for one more season as veteran insurance behind Lance. The future is hazy, but one thing is clear; Lance begins the season as the starter.

  49ers | Steve Young talks up Trey Lance    Fri Jul 15, 03:18 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance's best quality is his 'processing ability to find the open guy,' Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young recently told Matt Maiocco on 49ers Talk.'What Kyle (Shanahan) loves about Trey is his processing ability to find the open guy. With that in mind, Kyle will try to create some opportunities where he's wide open. Because that's where I think Trey has the growth, the refinement that's necessary is in delivering of the football - that's not his best quality right now. ... I think his processing power is his best quality, and Kyle will lean into that. I know that Trey will find the guy. Now can I make him wide open so that I don't cause him to have to throw into tight windows or be in some tough sport early. Kyle can create some of those opportunities. Kyle will love Trey's processing power and will take advantage of it,' Young said.

Footballguys view: It seems like all the old 49ers like Young and WR Jerry Rice have talked up the young passer. Lance has a ton of physical talent, and he's built like a modern-day quarterback with athleticism, strength, and a rocket arm. The 49ers love him, and that's why they traded a ton to move up last year in the draft and select Lance no.3 overall out of North Dakota State. With QB Jimmy Garoppolo perhaps traded before the start of training camp, Lance is the unquestioned starter after sitting most of his rookie season while he learned the ropes in the NFL. From a fantasy perspective, there is no doubt Lance has top-10 potential.

  49ers | Jerry Rice confident in Trey Lance    Sat Jul 9, 03:50 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance has the confidence of Hall of Fame WR Jerry Rice. 'Trey Lance, I think he's ready to go,' Rice said. 'And I think he's incredible because he has that one aspect that Jimmy doesn't have, and that's the threat of running with the ball and stuff like that. So his mobility, his strong arm, and this guy, he's before his time.'

Footballguys view: Lance has the coaching staff excited about his prospects as the starter. The thought is that they can run the full offense when Lance is up to speed with the language of the system. That's something they couldn't do with Jimmy Garoppolo as the starter. Lance has top-10 fantasy upside at the quarterback position, even if the playbook has to be limited for the young passer as he continues to learn the ropes. His current ADP is QB13 (9.08) in 12-team PPR leagues.

  49ers | Trey Lance 'arm fatigue' myth debunked    Fri Jul 8, 04:48 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance has been rumored to be dealing with 'arm fatigue,' but the notion was quickly dismissed by a member of the coaching staff recently, according to Ted Nguyen of The Athletic.'I've never heard anything about that a day in my life,' the coach told Nguyen recently.

Footballguys view: What else is the coach going to say? This year, arm fatigue has not been a problem for Lance. Last year, there was plenty of buzz that was a concern for the coaching staff. For a coach to say he has never ever heard of this - ever - is a bit hyperbolic. We're certain the coach had heard of this...because everyone has...and he was just trying to dodge the question. Lance seems to be in a much better spot this year as the projected starter than he was last season as a rookie getting up to speed in the game. We're excited about what Lance can do in 2022.

  49ers | Trey Lance putting in extra work    Mon Jun 13, 11:10 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance is staying in the Bay Area following mandatory minicamp to get some extra work in, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Lance is the quarterback of the future, and the 49ers would like the future to be now. He's the projected starter for the 2022 season, but QB Jimmy Garoppolo is still on the roster. Lance reportedly was 'fantastic' in practice last year, but his arm wore down as the season went on and he struggled to learn the complexity of the Shanahan offense as a rookie. It's a complicated system that Lance is getting more comfortable with, and Lance can build strength so his arm won't get fatigued. We'll see if the job is his or if Garoppolo can stay with the team as a starter if Lance is not quite ready. When Garoppolo is healthy, things could get interesting with the 49ers.

  49ers | Trey Lance had nagging finger injury    Thu May 26, 12:00 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance (finger) said he dealt with a right index finger injury last season. 'I kind of dealt with my finger throughout the season, so for me, it was kind of getting that back, and getting healthy, and feeling back to myself,' Lance said. 'Like, towards the end of the season, I wasn't the best version of myself overall. I think the finger, for me, was the biggest thing just as far as throwing the ball. I kind of had to learn to throw the ball differently without kind of using my pointer finger, I guess because of just where it was at throughout the year. But now, I feel like I'm in a great spot, health-wise, and throwing the ball well, and feeling really good.'

Footballguys view: The 49ers gave up a ton to move up to no.3 overall and select Lance in the 2021 NFL draft yet he barely played as a rookie. Instead, the team went with veteran Jimmy Garoppolo and made a deep postseason run, losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game. Lance was said to be 'fantastic' in practice but rumblings indicated he struggled with the complex language of the Kyle Shanahan offense. Add in this finger injury, and you can see why the 49ers didn't push him into the lineup. This year, Lance is the projected starter for Week 1.
