The Trey Lance era in San Francisco has come to an end. According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, the 49ers have traded Lance to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 4th round pick in the 2024 draft.
Several factors played into Lance not fulfilling the potential San Francisco saw in the quarterback when they selected him third overall in the 2021 draft.
Dallas represents a fresh start for Lance who had the best training camp of his time in San Francisco this season. That performance speaks to the character of Trey Lance. Despite knowing the odds were stacked against him, he did everything possible to show the best version of himself to Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers front office.
