7 teams that could trade for 49ers QB Trey Lance, including the Patriots
Trey Lance could be the next big NFL quarterback to get traded.
A pretty prominent quarterback in recent years could find himself on a new team before long.
The San Francisco 49ers reportedly named veteran quarterback Sam Darnold as the team’s primary backup on Wednesday, which opened the door for 2021 third-overall pick Trey Lance to possibly be traded to a new team.
Lance was drafted by the 49ers with a clear vision to be the team’s future starter, but injuries, limited playing time and the rise of Brock Purdy have all contributed to Lance possibly being on the outs in San Francisco.
While Lance hasn’t played a ton of NFL games, he is still a viable name that some team in the NFL would surely love to get on the roster.
Trey Lance has had a good camp and preseason, showing growth in his game. But Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold are atop the depth chat for a #49ers team that should be a contender, and trading Lance is one possible solution. https://t.co/NaForQTzqn
