General manager John Lynch said Thursday in an interview with KNBR that 'the most likely option' is that Trey Lance will remain with the 49ers after he was beaten out by Sam Darnold for the team's No. 2 QB job.
. That left Lance, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft whom the Niners traded four picks to acquire, disappointed.
"Trey handled it incredibly well, with class," Lynch said."He was devastated and rightly so. When you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't come to fruition, you're going to be devastated. That's the type of competitor he is. But we're in a good place, he'll be back in the building today and we're moving forward.".
If the Niners trade Lance, he will count $5,540,956 in dead money over each of the next two seasons and the team will save $3.76 million in 2023 and $5.31 million in 2024 against the salary cap.
