GM John Lynch says Trey Lance 'most likely' to remain with 49ers

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- One day after learning that he had lost out on the San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback job, Trey Lance was back at the team facility Thursday.

Barring a surprise, that's exactly where Niners general manager John Lynch expects Lance to be reporting to work for the near future.

Speaking to KNBR radio in San Francisco on Thursday morning, Lynch said that although the Niners are exploring all options -- including a trade -- for Lance, there's still a strong chance Lance will remain with the team as its third quarterback going into the season.
