The big news of the day is that the 49ers named Sam Darnold their QB2, relegating Trey Lance to QB3. Furthermore, Lance was not seen at Wednesday’s practice. Who knows if this is Lance acting on his own accord, or if this is a coaching decision. Another reasoning is that the team will hold out Lance for a potential trade.
They could also release Lance, which would be surprising considering what the team gave up to acquire Trey to begin with. Lance has a fully guaranteed contract since he was a first-rounder. It would cost $5.
