“The #49ers have received inquiries from several teams looking into a potential trade for former No. 3 pick QB Trey Lance. The conversations have been the result of SF fielding the calls, not making them, with teams aware that Brock Purdy is likely the future starter.”

In the thirteenth week of the previous season, Purdy replaced Garoppolo and guided the team to the NFC Championship Game. In March, he underwent a triumphant surgery on his elbow. As a result, head coach Kyle Shanahan has indicated that Lance and newly-signed quarterback Sam Darnold will split first-team reps while Purdy recovers, with the possibility of Lance regaining the starting position.

Lance’s potential was demonstrated in just 8 games. Leaving no doubt on his abilities, he amassed 797 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions, as well as 235 rushing yards and a touchdown. However, the 49ers saw Purdy outperform Lance in their small sample sizes, which may have influenced the recent trade inquiries for the young quarterback.

In 2019, two draft picks were exchanged in a deal in which the Arizona Cardinals traded away Josh Rosen. For the Cardinals, Josh Rosen was their top pick to the Miami Dolphins in the 2018 draft. Rosen’s disappointing rookie season led the Cardinals to select Kyler Murray as the top overall pick in the 2019 draft. In 2021, the Carolina Panthers acquired Darnold, who was the third overall pick for the New York Jets. The Jets received a sixth-round pick as part of the deal. They were also given second and fourth-round picks in the forthcoming 2022 draft. Darnold had his ups and downs with the Jets, leading to the trade.

Given the mixed results of previous trades involving former first-round quarterbacks, it may be challenging for the 49ers to land a high-value pick for Lance.
