When you think of the name Trey Lance, you remember that the 49ers invested heavily to get him in 2022, but between injuries and a drop in performance, he was never able to take off and ended up being traded to the Dallas Cowboys last year, where he didn’t see much action despite Dak Prescott’s injury.

In the previous preseason, Trey Lance threw five interceptions in a game, a situation that drew heavy criticism. Even so, he remained on the team and commented the following: “I feel like I know who I am… My confidence isn’t going anywhere. Just turn the page and play ball.”
Despite all that, Trey Lance was able to play in a regular season game with Dallas, facing the Commanders and throwing for 244 yards with no interceptions. However, the Cowboys lost. It was his first start since 2022, and in free agency, he moved on to the Chargers.
Trey Lance started the preseason in a great way
With the Hall of Fame game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Detroit Lions, the NFL preseason officially kicked off. The California team was clearly superior and took a 34-7 victory, highlighted by Trey Lance’s performance as he fights for a spot on the team.
The former first-round pick of the 49ers in 2022 and former Cowboys quarterback completed 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards and threw two touchdown passes to Will Dissly and KeAndre LambertSmith. Lance is currently the third-string quarterback for the Chargers, but with this performance, he may begin to challenge Taylor Heinicke for the backup spot behind Justin Herbert.
With performances like this, Trey Lance might even raise his trade value, and teams in need of a quarterback – such as the New Orleans Saints – might take an interest in him. Under Jim Harbaugh’s leadership, Lance seems to be starting to show the talent people once believed he had.
