A new page has been written in the storied rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback rumors, with Ian Rapoport reporting on Wednesday that the 49ers have received calls regarding a potential Trey Lance trade.
However, both Rapoport and Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area have said that while the 49ers are taking calls, they’re not seeking to trade the quarterback.
All of this makes sense on paper. The 49ers have been non-committal on Lance, who by Week 1 could be anywhere from QB1 to QB3, depending on Brock Purdy’s recovery and the result of a potential Lance/Sam Darnold competition.
