On Wednesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the San Francisco 49ers have received multiple inquiries to trade for quarterback Trey Lance, the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Rapoport made clear that the calls are incoming and the 49ers have not been actively shopping him, but with general manager John Lynch making it pretty clear that if Brock Purdy were healthy, he’s QB1 in San Francisco, a trade remains a possibility.
The Detroit Lions are a team that could make sense as a trade partner. While the Lions have publicly thrown their support for Jared Goff as their starter for the here and now, questions remain about the future of the position.
