On a Friday night in August, on the night of a preseason game, mind you, the San Francisco 49ers washed their hands from a move that didn’t work out and sent the former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Lance’s career never got off the ground. To date, he’s slightly over 100 career passing attempts. Situation, injuries, and circumstance prevented Lance from stringing together more than three starts with the Niners. Heading into the 2023 season, Lance was demoted to QB3 behind Sam Darnold, which eventually ended his tenure in the Bay Area.
