Even though the San Francisco 49ers have proclaimed Brock Purdy the leader to start at quarterback if he recovers in time from his elbow injury, they aren't yet ready to move on from the player they drafted two years ago to be their franchise quarterback.
General manager John Lynch said Monday that the team has gotten some calls inquiring about the availability of Trey Lance, but none of those has reached the level where San Francisco would be willing to change plans of having a quarterback room of Purdy, Lance and free agent acquisition Sam Darnold.
After spending most of his rookie season as the backup to Jimmy Garoppolo and then going down with a season-ending broken ankle in the first quarter of his second start last season, Lance has been unable to prove that he was worthy of that investment. While the Niners believe in Purdy, the questions about his health make it difficult for them to want to move on from Lance. Purdy injured his right elbow in the NFC title game and underwent surgery in March.
