San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch suggested Wednesday that the team is preparing to move forward with Trey Lance as its starting quarterback for the 2022 season.
Lynch was asked about the Niners' QB situation on NFL Network's Good Morning Football amid rumors of a potential Jimmy Garoppolo trade, and he noted Lance's status as the No. 3 overall pick in last year's draft is a factor.
"There certainly has been discussions. We'll always listen to things, but when you make that kind of investment in someone, you tend to use him," Lynch said.
