Trey Lance Could Open Season As No. 3 On QB Depth Chart
2 years agoNFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance could be the team's No. 3 QB when the 2023 season starts behind Brock Purdy (elbow) and Sam Darnold. It's why the Niners have considered trading the former No. 3 overall pick this offseason. Nothing is imminent right now, but there's a better chance that Lance is dealt in August if another team's QB goes down with an injury in training camp and Purdy appears to be on track to be ready for Week 1. Lance is only 22 years old, and although he hasn't had great injury luck, there surely are some teams out there that wouldn't mind taking him on to see what he can do with an opportunity. For now, Lance's stock in dynasty/keeper leagues continues to plummet.
