On August 26 (Saturday), the 23-year-old Trey Lance was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Dallas Cowboys. While the youngster is still getting accustomed to his new surroundings, he is already enjoying his new environment. Reacting to his switch, Lance said, "I really tried to not expect anything one way or another, but I can say that when I heard 'Cowboys,' I had a big smile on my face. I was very excited to be here."

In 2021, Lance was roped in by the Niners, however, he never got an extended run. While he was looking forward to having a long career in San Francisco, the quarterback&nbsp;just appeared in eight games, the fewest a top-five pick has ever played for the franchise he made his debut with in the common draft era (since 1967 and excluding the 2023 draft class), as per the ESPN Stats &amp; Information. In San Francisco, Lance finished 56 out of 102 passes for 797 yards with five touchdowns along with three interceptions in two seasons.

<h2>'That conversation wasn't something I wanted to hear, but....'</h2>

On his two-year with the 49ers, Lance admitted, "It's not how I expected it to go. It's not how I think a lot of people expected it to go. But I believe that everything happens for a reason. I think I'm here for a reason. Regardless of what it is, just want to try to find a way to help the team."

He added,&nbsp;"I'm kind of really trying to move on, but yeah, it definitely took some time. That conversation obviously wasn't something I wanted to hear, but that's the reality of the situation. Nothing but respect and gratitude for everyone there -- coaching staff, locker room, athletic training staff, everyone I spent a ton of time with these last few years. Obviously, it was tough, but for me it was trying to figure out what was next and what's going to happen in the future."

Joining Dallas, Lance will be looking for a long rope to showcase his potential and take the franchise forward in the upcoming NFL 2023 season. The 104th season will kick off on September 07 (Thursday) with&nbsp;defending Super Bowl LVII champion Kansas City hosting Detroit in the Kickoff Game.

NFL: Dallas Cowboys QB Trey Lance describes trade from San Francisco 49ers as 'breath of fresh air'

A day after San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that quarterback Trey Lance is most likely to stay with the franchise, he has been traded to the Dallas Cowboys. While Lynch had admitted that the Niners were looking for a trade option, he had said that there was a strong possibility of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/nfl-san-francisco-49ers-manager-says-qb-trey-lance-most-likely-to-remain-with-niners-629168">Lance staying with the franchise</a> as their third QB.

"That's the most likely option. We're very happy with Trey. The most likely option is that he's here. If we can find a landing spot for Trey that is a really good one for him and works for our organization, that's not something that we'd turn a blind eye to. But that's not where our focus is right now. Our focus is on Trey getting back here and us being the best football team. We're getting close to Pittsburgh [in Week 1]," Lynch had said.

The QB, however, decided to part ways after losing out on the backup quarterback job to Sam Darnold. The Niners have received a fourth-round pick in the next year's NFL Draft for sending Lance to Dallas. The 49ers will also not be picking any of Lance's remaining salary which is $940,000 in 2023 and $5.3 million salary in 2024, all of which is guaranteed.

Speaking after the trade, Lynch said that 'It's not what it looked like when we first started having a conversation. It (the trade) wasn't anywhere close.'&nbsp;

"So, it did advance in a hurry today. I'm not doing cartwheels over it, because my preference would've been that it worked out, and it didn't. And there's circumstances for that, and we can explain them away, but the reality is the reality. He had a couple opportunities, and I think injuries played a part, and where we're at as a team, we felt like this was the best situation for us, also the best situation for him," he added.

Lance, number three overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, played just eight games for the 49ers. He was the starter last season but an injury cut short his season just after two games and Brock Prudy then took over the reins.

NFL: San Francisco 49ers trade QB Trey Lance to Dallas Cowboys for fourth-round pick

Quite a lot has transpired for quarterback Trey Lance in the past few days. Just&nbsp;a&nbsp;day after learning that he had lost out on the San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback job, the 23-year-old&nbsp;Lance was seen back at the team facility on Thursday (August 24).

Shedding light on the whole matter, Niners general manager John Lynch said that he expects Lance to stay put barring a surprise. While speaking to KNBR radio in San Francisco on Thursday morning, Lynch admitted that the Niners are exploring all options -- including a trade -- for Lance but there remains a strong possibility of him retaining his place as the third quarterback in the upcoming new season.&nbsp;

Lynch said, "That's the most likely option. We're very happy with Trey. The most likely option is that he's here. If we can find a landing spot for Trey that is a really good one for him and works for our organization, that's not something that we'd turn a blind eye to.

Lynch has, however, not given a clear answer&nbsp;when asked if Lance himself requested a trade. He just added that it was a "gut punch" for the youngster.

The 51-year-old added, "Trey handled it incredibly well, with class. 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."

NFL: San Francisco 49ers manager says QB Trey Lance 'most likely' to remain with Niners

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who's been waiting to get his torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) repaired, will have to wait some more time. The surgery, which was expected to be done, on Wednesday, in Arlington, Texas, has been delayed due to swelling in Purdy's right elbow, sources told ESPN. The decision was taken after the QB met with D. Keith Meister, who recommended to wait until the inflammation in the elbow goes down further. Meister and Purdy are now hoping to get the procedure done in early March and will be regrouping regarding the same. This whole development was first reported by the NFL Network.

The delay also means that the QB's potential return to the field after that six-month recovery period post the surgery will be sometime in late August. That comeback, however, depends on the fact that Purdy just needs "surgical UCL repair augmented with an InternalBrace," and not a hybrid procedure to partially reconstruct the elbow. The decision on the need to hybrid surgery although, can not be taken until the doctor takes a look at the elbow when the procedure begins.

Speaking on the same to KNBR radio in San Francisco earlier this month, Purdy, who'll miss the Niners' entire offseason program, said that hybrid surgery would require extra recovery time. We're going into it thinking the repair with the InternalBrace, for sure," the QB said. "All the surgeons have said that and that's what we're hoping for and get a six-month recovery in and be ready for [training] camp," he added.

In the meanwhile, Trey Lance, who himself is recovering from a broken right ankle, is expected to take up the top quarterback's job for the franchise activities and minicamps. While injured, Lance is expected to cleared to run in time and join the OTAs.
