Making the case: Should the Giants trade for Trey Lance?
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty ImagesThe news of the day as the NFL gets ready for the third week of preseason games is that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance could (or is) on the trading block.
That, in and of itself is extraordinary.
San Fransisco traded the 12th overall pick and a third-round pick in 2021, a first-round pick in 2022, and a first-round pick in 2023 to move from 12th to third in the 2021 NFL Draft. They used that third overall pick to select Lance out of North Dakota State. For a team to give up on that that level of investment after a little over a year is unheard of.
