The Dallas Cowboys head into the 2024 NFL season with plenty of uncertainty, since many members of the organization are on an expiring contract this year. One of them is quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a>.



While team owner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-gets-real-on-dak-prescotts-future-in-dallas">Jerry Jones doesn’t look worried about Prescott’s situation</a>, it remains unclear whether Dak will be under center for America’s Team in 2025. But in the event he leaves, the team may already have the right successor.



Speaking to the media during OTAs, Cowboys head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-mccarthy">Mike McCarthy</a> looked impressed by backup quarterback Trey Lance, who was traded from San Francisco to Dallas last year.



“Young quarterback comes into a new system. So you got the learning curve, but now starting to get the timing with the routes,” McCarthy said, via Gridiron Heroics. “[Trey Lance is] close to being a master of the system. He has a really high understanding. He’s communicating very well. He looks more and more comfortable. He just needs reps. I know I say that every time I talk about him. He just needs as many reps as he can.”

That’s quite the praise for the former first-round pick. While Lance couldn’t live up to the expectations in the Bay area, his age (24) and Prescott’s contract situation make him a candidate to take the reins in 2025. McCarthy’s recent comments make that scenario look even more realistic.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-makes-something-clear-to-jerry-jones-cowboys-ahead-of-2024-nfl-season"></div>


<h2>McCarthy still a huge fan of Prescott</h2>



McCarthy, however, by no means pretends to move on from Prescott anytime soon. In fact, he likes what he’s seeing from the quarterback ahead of his fifth season at the helm of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Cowboys</a>.



“I think Dak is having his best offseason program that we’ve had,” McCarthy said. “This atmosphere that we’ve practiced in with the quarterback and receivers has really hit the mark. I’ve been very impressed with the quality of work. . . . With the quarterback, when the connection is there in the perimeter realm – and that’s been the majority of our physical activity — the connection is better. The receivers are playing with more urgency, more reps. The timing is better. The real test will be when we get to training camp.”



Prescott will continue to make headlines as his contract situation remains unchanged, with the Cowboys wondering what’s the best route to take in order to make a long-awaited Super Bowl appearance.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> made a blockbuster move and traded with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a>. However, it has now been revealed that HC Mike McCarthy didn’t ask the team’s front office to acquire the quarterback.



Trey Lance’s journey through the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> has not been easy at all. The quarterback has struggled with injuries during the first two years of his career, and he has been unable to demonstrate his value as a former 3rd overall pick.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230905#BUS#57738"></div>


Now, a new era is about to begin for the former 49ers player. He will embark on his journey in Dallas as Dak Prescott’s backup quarterback, but the team’s plan is to hand him the reins of the offense once Prescott departs from the team in the future.



<h2>Cowboys’ owner reveals he didn’t tell Mike McCarthy about Trey Lance’s trade</h2>



Even though the Cowboys had Will Grier as QB2, they traded for Trey Lance a few days ago. Well, it was Jerry Jones, the team’s owner, who made this decision all by himself, even without Mike McCarthy.



“No, we, we didn’t tell anybody until we did it, period,” Jones told reporters. “There was nobody that knew [about] it. We told Mike [McCarthy], after we had done it, but my point is we just wanted to get it done. Again, we didn’t waste any time. My point is, we didn’t, we didn’t want them, we didn’t want them to hang up.”



It is known that Jones plays a very significant role in the Cowboys, but nobody expected that he would trade for a quarterback without informing his head coach. It was a very risky move by the club’s owner, but he believes it was the right one to make.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230904#BUS#56875"></div>


<h2>Will Trey Lance start next season?</h2>



Trey Lance was signed by the Cowboys to be Prescott’s backup quarterback. However, if the starter doesn’t have a remarkable season, it is possible that the former North Dakota State player will take over the offense at some point.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> pulled off a shocking move this offseason by trading for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a>. Of course, the move raised many eyebrows since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> has been the franchise quarterback for years.



The 30-year-old has so far failed to deliver a Super Bowl despite the team’s confidence in him. Prescott was given one of the biggest salaries in the league, but he has yet to at least reach the big game.



Since his contract expires after the 2024 season, many have speculated that Lance’s arrival may have something to do with the ongoing contract talks with Prescott. Jerry Jones, however, made it clear they want to keep Prescott for a long time.



<h2>Jerry Jones wants Prescott to stay for many years in Dallas</h2>



“You’re implying on discussion – those numbers on those contracts, those types of numbers, especially the big ones, you live with constantly, that’s always on your mind,” Jones told 105.3 The Fan, via ProFootballTalk. “There’s never a time when it goes away because you’ve got to make the entire thing fit. So, it’s on the mind [with] a player decision in the middle of the year. It’s just a fundamental. We expect Dak to be with us a long time, and yeah, we’re always working around it with several machinations of numbers that would work.”



<h2>What’s Dak Prescott’s contract with the Cowboys?</h2>



Dak Prescott is entering the third of a four-year, $160 million deal with the Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones addresses Dak Prescott's future after Trey Lance trade

The&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;haven’t won a&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>&nbsp;in almost three decades. Last season, the team failed once again in the playoffs facing the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>. Even with an improved defense,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a>&nbsp;couldn’t deliver. As it’s been tradition, a huge debate about his future ignited. 



Furthermore, the NFC East will be really tough in the near future. Jalen Hurts and the&nbsp;Eagles&nbsp;have probably the best roster in football, the&nbsp;Giants&nbsp;are on a great rebuilding process under&nbsp;Brian Daboll&nbsp;and Washington&nbsp;could improve thanks to the arrival of&nbsp;Eric Bieniemy&nbsp;as offensive coordinator.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230817#BUS#47862"></div>


Now, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;are facing another huge controversy in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>. Considering Dak Prescott hasn’t signed a contract extension, many experts wonder if&nbsp;Jerry Jones&nbsp;believes&nbsp;Trey Lance&nbsp;could be the future in case the veteran doesn’t take the franchise to a championship in 2023. 



<h2>Trey Lance has a message for Dak Prescott</h2>



Dak Prescott&nbsp;has a valid contract with the&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;until 2024. However, after that point, no one knows for sure what will happen with his future. From this moment on, the star player has to share the quarterback room with a huge prospect like Trey Lance. 







Before the 2023 season, Prescott clearly appeared as the leader of a depth chart which included&nbsp;Cooper Rush&nbsp;and Will Grier. No one thought&nbsp;Jerry Jones&nbsp;would make a final move to shake the franchise.



Then, last Friday, the&nbsp;Cowboys&nbsp;confirmed a blockbuster trade with the&nbsp;San Francisco 49ers&nbsp;to acquire&nbsp;Trey Lance. He is definitely ready to get a shot at redemption.



“I really tried not to expect anything one way or another, but I can say that when I heard Cowboys, I had a big smile on my face. I was very excited to be here. It was a little bit surreal for me hearing I was going to come here knowing everything about this historic organization.”



Of course, the big question was a possible competition with Dak Prescott. Lance just had great words about him. “The type of person he is, first and foremost. I think everyone knows that. How he treats people, how I’ve seen him treat people just in the building these few days.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230719#BUS#32049"></div>


Right now, Trey Lance is just ready to help the team. “The few conversations I had with him (Dak), just texting him when I had my ankle injury, things like that. That shows just the type of person he is. Obviously, the football stuff kind of speaks for itself. I’m still trying to learn from Day 1. I’ve got a long way to go there, but definitely I’m looking forward to being a sponge. Just soaking up everything I can from him.”

When the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> decided to move on from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-garoppolo">Jimmy Garoppolo</a>, everyone thought it would be to make more room for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a>. However, the former first-rounder was traded to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> ahead of the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season.



The Niners had a big decision to make, with Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold also in the quarterback room. After months of speculation, the team ended up choosing Purdy as starter with Darnold as his backup.



Needless to say, it was a shocking decision considering how much the team gave up to select Lance third overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. In an interview with Sports Illustrated‘s Robin Lundberg, Jimmy G took a subtle shot at the Niners when addressing this situation.



<h2>Jimmy Garoppolo calls out 49ers over Trey Lance trade</h2>



“Weird situation…been a lot of weird situations over there in San Francisco, I’ll just leave it at that…but I’m happy Trey [Lance] got another shot…,” Garoppolo said, via ClutchPoints. Then, Jimmy G continued to take subtle shots at the front office.



Lundberg – How do you think San Francisco has handled those quarterback situations?



Garoppolo – How do you think they’ve handled them?



Lundberg – I think they’ve been messy.



Garoppolo – That’s a nice way to put it.



<h2>What did the 49ers get in return for Lance?</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers traded Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

NFL News: Jimmy Garoppolo takes shot at 49ers for trading Trey Lance

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> had a big decision to make this season with Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> at the quarterback room. Even with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-garoppolo">Jimmy Garoppolo</a> gone, the Niners still had plenty of options.



But it’s safe to say the team took everyone by surprise ahead of the 2023 NFL season. When many thought Darnold wouldn’t make the cut, San Francisco chose him as backup to Purdy.



In the end, Lance was traded to the Dallas Cowboys. Jimmy G, who was still in the Bay area when the team selected Lance with the third-overall pick, addressed this shocking turn of events.



<h2>Jimmy Garoppolo rooting for Trey Lance</h2>



“Excited for Trey. Just a new opportunity for him,” Garoppolo said, via ProFootballTalk. “Things didn’t work out in San Francisco for whatever reasons, but glad that he gets another shot, man. This league’s all about opportunities, and when you get a fresh one like that, you’ve just got to take advantage of it. 



“Everyone has their own path and everything like that. It’s never going to be easy, but it’s how you come out the other end of it. So I’m always excited for him, man. He’s a brother of mine. Always pulling for him. . . . Trey’s a brother of mine, man, so like I said before, I’m always pulling for him. I think he’s got a bright future in this league. Dude’s got talent. Just got to get him out there.”



<h2>How many seasons did Garoppolo and Lance spend together?</h2>



Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance spent two years as teammates in San Francisco, sharing the 2021 and 2022 seasons.



<h2>How much did the 49ers give up to trade for Lance?</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers traded three first-round picks and a third-round pick to move up in the 2021 NFL Draft and select Trey Lance third-overall.

NFL News: Jimmy Garoppolo reacts to 49ers trading Trey Lance

In a twist that has caught the league off guard, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> have pulled off a significant trade by acquiring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>. This trade was very unexpected especially due to the destination where the quarterback landed.



The 49ers decided to move on from Trey Lance after only two years, a resolution prompted by him falling behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> and Sam Darnold in the 49ers’ depth chart. Therefore, they wanted to make sure to get something in return while he was still a valuable asset.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#51978"></div>


Dallas weren’t considered a potential new team for Lance, but they didn’t hesitate in taking a chance on this young player with a high ceiling. Despite he’s going to start below <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> and backup Cooper Rush, the team plans to have him as the second choice in the near future.



<h2>Three More Teams Were Reportedly Interested in Trey Lance</h2>



Initially, both head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch had stated their intention to keep Lance on the roster. However, they parted ways with the player a day after stating that was their desire.



The Cowboys secured the winning bid by offering the 49ers a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, making it impossible for San Francisco to avoid trading Lance to the AFC as they wanted. They were so excited by the offer that they also declined the interest of at least three teams.



As reported by Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a> were involved in trade talks. This report also suggested that the offers were mostly a sixth-round pick that could become a fifth, so the Cowboys had the best offering.



<h2>What Is Trey Lance’s Record as a Starter?</h2>



Trey Lance’s record as starter is 2-2, despite playing a total of eight games in his career with the 49ers.

That might have started the silent search of a new franchise quarterback. 



It’s a decision which has to be considered as the NFC East will be one of the toughest divisions. Jalen Hurts led the&nbsp;Eagles&nbsp;to the&nbsp;Super Bowl and now has a better roster, the&nbsp;Giants&nbsp;are on a great rebuilding process under&nbsp;Brian Daboll&nbsp;and Washington&nbsp;could improve thanks to the arrival of&nbsp;Eric Bieniemy&nbsp;as offensive coordinator.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51369"></div>


Now, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;could have triggered a new chapter in team’s history. One of the greatest prospects in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>&nbsp;has joined them after a very controversial stint with the 49ers. 



<h2>Brock Purdy talks about Trey Lance’s trade to the Cowboys</h2>



Last season, rookie Brock Purdy surprisingly emerged as the quarterback of the future for the San Francisco 49ers. After Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo got injured, head coach Kyle Shanahan found his man.




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230415#CMS#0012"></div>


However, Purdy had to deal with an elbow injury in the NFC Championship Game and no one knew for sure if he was going to be ready for the 2023 season. It seemed the prefect chance for Trey Lance to get redemption.



Then, something happened during preseason. Lance couldnt perform well and, as a consequence, the former quarterback of North Dakota State fell to the No.3 spot in the depth chart behind Purdy and Sam Darnold.



This Friday, Trey Lance was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick. That’s why, after the shocking news, Brock Purdy had a special message for his teammate.



“Yes. Obviously, I love Trey. Everything that he’s done for this organization and obviously for myself. Going in last year and then him just being by my side from the get-go sideline, meetings in the locker room, wherever we are at, man, he’s been a real one and helped me come into the league and welcome me with open arms and showed me the ropes to this whole thing.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230811#BUS#44635"></div>


Purdy believes Lance could be a great asset for the Dallas Cowboys. “I can’t tell you how grateful I am for him and to have him in my life. Obviously, in terms of the situation, I’m happy for him that he’s able to go into a good situation and we all feel like it’s a good fit. At the end of the day, I can’t say how thankful I am to have played and been a teammate with Trey.

Brock Purdy's heartfelt message for Trey Lance after Cowboys' trade - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> had a big decision to make for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season with a stacked quarterback room. In the end, the team decided to keep Brock Purdy as QB1, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold">Sam Darnold</a> as backup. That left <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> in a tough spot.



The Niners gave up a lot to get the North Dakota State product with the third-overall pick in 2021, but things didn’t go to plan. Lance couldn’t win the job in his rookie year, and an injury ended his season prematurely in 2022.



Now, everyone expects the team to find a new home for the third-year quarterback. According to Adam Schefter, the 49ers want the best for Lance, which is why they won’t demand too much in a potential trade. Instead, they just want to send him where they believe he could shine.



<h2>Rumor: 49ers want to find team that helps Lance succeed</h2>



“I think what happens is the 49ers look to see if they can find a home for him,” Schefter said on ESPN. “They’re not looking for very much. They honestly, truly would like to put him in a situation where he can shine, where he can excel because they do believe he has made improvements.



” … they’re looking to put Trey Lance essentially up for adoption. Who wants to adopt him and put him in a nice home where they’re going to raise him the right way and he’s going to get some work?”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230825#BUS#52188"></div>


This would certainly be a class act by the Niners. They know Lance still has his entire career ahead of him, and they don’t want to harm him. Just because things aren’t meant to be in the Bay area that doesn’t mean they don’t want the best for him.

NFL Trade Rumors: What the 49ers want for Trey Lance

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> made a significant move that included two first-round picks to move from the 12th to the 3rd spot to draft Trey Lance. However, the decision made in 2021 now seems like a total disaster for how everything developed.



Injuries have turned into the main reason behind Lance’s inability to prove his potential to be a successful quarterback. He has played only eight games in his career so far, with a disappointing record of 2-2 as a starter.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51358"></div>


Recent events around the 49ers added more obstacles to Lance’s situation. Coach Kyle Shanahan decided to name Sam Darnold as the official QB2, leaving the young passed further down the list in the depth chart. With a trade potentially looming, John Lynch addressed the possibility.



<h2>John Lynch Denies Lance Is Getting Traded</h2>



Right after Shanahan named Darnold as the backup quarterback, rumors about a potential trade escalated more than usual. Since Brock Purdy was confirmed for the starting job, Lance’s future has been uncertain.



Amid reports suggesting the 49ers have been shopping Lance, Lynch dismissed such claims, as he also went a step further discussing the quarterback’s position on the roster. During an interview on “Murph &amp; Mac” on KNBR, he said: “The most likely option is that he’s here”.



Lynch provided context to Lance’s reaction becoming QB3: “Trey handled it incredibly well, with class. He was devastated and rightly so. When you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn’t come to fruition you’re going to be devastated and that’s the type of competitor he is”.

In a very surprising turn of events, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> named <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Darnold</a> the team’s QB2 ahead of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a>. Now, HC Kyle Shanahan has opened up on moving on from their former 3rd overall pick.



After Week 2 of the 2023 NFL preseason, the 49ers made the decision to name <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> the starting quarterback. Behind the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2022 Mr. Irrelevant</a> will be Sam Darnold, who surprised everybody in the team since his arrival a few months ago.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#51689"></div>


However, this decision has had a ripple effect on the team’s roster. Trey Lance has been relegated to the QB3 spot, and it is now clear that San Francisco will attempt to trade him to regain some of the picks they gave away for him in 2021.



<h2>Kyle Shanahan’s honest take on why he preferred Sam Darnold over Trey Lance</h2>



It seems like the competition was not between Brock Purdy and Trey Lance, but rather with the latter and Sam Darnold. On Wednesday, the 49ers announced their season starter, and their former 3rd overall pick didn’t even appear in the picture.



Sam Darnold was signed earlier this year due to injuries to Purdy and Lance, as the 49ers were unsure if both quarterbacks would be healthy enough to start the season. However, he impressed everyone, which is why they decided to offer him the backup role.



A day after this significant announcement, Kyle Shanahan decided to speak to the media about this matter. The head coach shared some insights into how he handled the situation with Lance and why he preferred Darnold over him.



“We gave [Lance] a big chance to win that 2-spot this year … it was a very tough fight, but in the long run, Sam ended up winning it,” Shanahan said Wednesday, via The Athletic. The head coach also pointed out that injuries have prevented Lance from fully developing his talent.

Those words make one thing very clear: the 49ers had a clear plan that Purdy was going to be the starter, and the real uncertainty was regarding his backup. Now, they will need to find a team willing to trade for Lance, but his injuries could pose a significant challenge in attracting interest from potential clubs.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> received the worst news possible about his career. On Wednesday, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> named him the QB3 behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> and Sam Darnold, so now he will have to find a new landing spot to play the 2023 NFL season.



The 49ers started the day with some really surprising news by naming Sam Darnold the backup quarterback of Brock Purdy. Of course, this erases Trey Lance from the picture, as he won’t stay in the team as QB3.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51358"></div>


According to several reports, the 49ers tried to trade Lance a few months ago, but didn’t find a team interested in him. Now, they have to find a new landing spot for their former first round pick ahead of the upcoming campaign.



<h2>Which are Trey Lance’s possible landing spots?</h2>



It is too soon for Trey Lance to have offer on the table. However, there are two teams in the NFC which could be interested in him: the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vikings</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rams</a>. Both clubs have veteran quarterbacks, so bringing a young player to backup their starters could make sense.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230822#BUS#50431"></div>


<h2>Why was Trey Lance relegated to the QB3 spot?</h2>



The 49ers obviously have not revealed the reason why, but Trey Lance’s health could be one. In two seasons with San Francisco, the former North Dakota State player has only played eight games (four of them as starter) due to injuries, and they definitely don’t want an unstable quarterback.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230820#BUS#49812"></div>

<h2>Kyle Shanahan praises Brock Purdy; message for Trey Lance?</h2>



There’s not too much clarity nowadays in the Bay. The San Francisco 49ers must select their starting quarterback for th upcoming campaign, and the decision won’t be easy at all.



Even though most fans see Trey Lance as the clear starter, Brock Purdy’s performances have brought a lot of doubts. Kyle Shanahan sees the quality of the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, and he really likes what the number 13 has brought to the team.



“I thought he did real good, all the plays that he had he made and I don’t think he had a bad one,” head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters about Purdy following the game against the Denver Broncos, per the team transcript.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230816#BUS#47608"></div>


These words may put more pressure on Trey Lance. The former first-round pick started last season, but Purdy’s performance in the second half of the campaign has intensified this competition.
