The NFL world was sent into a frenzy recently when it was announced that the San Francisco 49ers had traded quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys. This move came as a surprise to many, as Lance had just been selected by the 49ers with the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Lance had been expected to be the heir apparent to Jimmy Garoppolo, who had been the starter for the 49ers since 2017. However, the 49ers decided to go in a different direction and traded Lance to the Cowboys in exchange for a 2022 third-round pick and a 2023 first-round pick.
This move has been met with mixed reactions from fans and analysts alike. On one hand, some believe that the 49ers made a mistake in giving up on Lance so soon, as he had shown potential during his college career at North Dakota State. On the other hand, some believe that the 49ers made the right decision in trading Lance, as they were able to get a good return for him and could use those picks to help build their team in the future.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, are hoping that Lance can be their quarterback of the future. He will be joining a team that already has a strong offensive line and weapons like Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper. If Lance can develop into a franchise quarterback, then the Cowboys could be in for a bright future.
Only time will tell how this trade will turn out for both teams, but one thing is for sure: Trey Lance is starting over with the Dallas Cowboys and his future looks very promising.
