The San Francisco 49ers have traded quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys less than three years after trading three first-round picks to draft him.
49ers quarterback Trey Lance throws during a preseason against the Broncos on Aug 19 in Santa Clara, Calif.
A person familiar with the situation said the Cowboys will send a midround pick to the 49ers for the player drafted third in 2021. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been announced.Lance had lost the competition to San Darnold to back up Brock Purdy in San Francisco earlier in the week, setting the stage for his departure.The move is a remarkable backtrack following the hefty investment the Niners made in hopes of Lance becoming a franchise quarterback.
He spent his rookie season backing up Jimmy Garoppolo, starting just two games as an injury replacement and being hampered by a finger injury on his throwing hand. Purdy, taken with the last pick in 2022, came on late in the season and won his first seven starts to take over the starting role headed into this season.
