PALM BEACH. Fla. -- With the NFL season still roughly six months away, San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan isn't ready to announce his starting quarterback. In fact, much like last season, he might never make a formal announcement.
But, if it wasn't already clear that Shanahan and the Niners intend to turn the keys over to Trey Lance, Shanahan left plenty of subtle and not-so-subtle clues during his Tuesday morning media session at the NFL owners meetings at the Breakers Hotel.
So far this offseason, the 49ers have been unable to trade incumbent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, though not for a lack of effort.
