A competitor for Dak Prescott.
A trade was inevitable, and it happened for Trey Lance. It is therefore the end of a story with a bitter taste between the 49ers and the former number 3 of the 2021 Draft.
After being relegated as the third quarterback, the 49ers decided to act fast. For this, they send the former North Dakota State player to the Dallas Cowboys for a 4th round of the 2024 Draft, according to ESPN.
With this trade, the 49ers saved $6 million in payroll, according to NFL Media. In addition, the Cowboys will cover the $ 940,000 that Lance must receive this season. As well as the $5.3 million for the following season. In addition, the Dallas franchise will have their hands on the 5th year of their rookie contract for the 2025 season.
For the Cowboys, it is therefore a lining of choice for Dak Prescott. For Trey Lance, it’s an opportunity to relaunch his career in Texas. Finally, for the 49ers, we are (already) turning a page that had not really started.
