When the 49ers report to training camp at the end of the month, it feels inevitable that we’ll hear about potential trade rumors for one of the quarterbacks. There will be days when Trey Lance is off, while other days that’ll be the case for Sam Darnold.
Make no mistake, Kyle Shanahan will enter the 2023 season with three quarterbacks. It’s hard to imagine San Francisco selling one, even if Lance, Darnold, or Brock Purdy begin the year on a torrid pace. Injuries have plagued this team enough where insurance is more important than a future draft pick.
