The 49ers gave up three first-round picks to draft Trey Lance, but didn't give him a chance to develop. Friday, they traded him to the Cowboys for a fourth-rounder.
Then, on Friday, just hours before Lance's scheduled start in San Francisco's last preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers,Lance now becomes the project of Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, a prospect to develop behind franchise QB Dak Prescott.
However, it's not like Lance received a long runway to earn the staring job in San Francisco. He played in a total of eight games over three NFL seasons, the fewest by a top-five pick for a franchise he debuted with in the common draft era. Last season, Shanahan didn't do Lance any favors by using him more like a battering-ram fullback than the face of a franchise.Lance struggled to stay healthy during his time in San Francisco. He suffered a broken finger during exhibition play in his rookie season in 2021, which altered his throwing motion. Lance also sprained his left knee in a start against the Arizona Cardinals that year in Week 5.
