Earlier in the week, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he was hopeful to have Trey Lance on the roster for Week 1 and throughout the duration of the 2023 regular season. Shanahan also said that he planned on playing Lance in Friday night’s preseason finale game against the Chargers.
Well, that won’t be happening. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the 49ers are trading Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys of all teams in exchange for a fourth-round pick. The 49ers also offload $6.25 million that was fully guaranteed in Lance’s contract.
