Two years after they traded up to select him with the No. 3 pick of the 2021 draft, the San Francisco 49ers reportedly dealt quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick.

The trade comes after coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Sam Darnold would serve as backup for Brock Purdy, leaving Lance as the third-string option.
The 49ers traded their 2021, 2022 and 2023 first-round picks, in addition to a 2022 third-rounder, to draft Lance.
