Ex-49ers QB Trey Lance continues NFL career as backup

Trey Lance’s time in the NFL isn’t over just yet as the former top 49ers draft pick has reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Lance will return to the West Coast for a $6.2 million deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, though the full details of the contract — including incentives and guaranteed money — have yet to be revealed. He will compete with backup Taylor Heinicke for the second-string slot at quarterback behind starter Justin Herbert. Lance will also get a chance to play for former Niners coach Jim Harbaugh.
