49ers’ former No 3 draft pick Trey Lance draws interest from CFL team

The San Francisco 49ers traded a 2021 first-round pick and two future first-round and third-round picks to the Miami Dolphins to select quarterback Trey Lance No. 3 in the draft that year.

The team seemingly thought Lance was the quarterback of their future. He was a standout quarterback at North Dakota State, throwing for 2,786 yards and 28 touchdown passes while rushing for 1,100 more yards in his lone full season with the Bison in 2019.

The label of “franchise quarterback” could never be used for Lance during his time with the 49ers, or in the NFL for that matter.

The once highly sought-after quarterback hit free agency in the offseason after a stint with the Dallas Cowboys. On Wednesday, TSN reported the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders added Lance to their negotiation list. The CFL team will have exclusive rights should Lance decide to play north of the border.

Lance started his rookie season as a backup to Jimmy Garoppolo and was only able to start two games. He was named the starting quarterback in 2022 but an injury in Week 2 cost him the season. By the time he was at full health, Brock Purdy had seized control of the starting job.

He had a chance to revive his NFL career with the Cowboys but rarely made it to the field as he was stuck behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush on the depth chart.

Dallas released Lance in the offseason.

All hope is not lost, though. Lance is back on the field, working out to try to get back to the NFL. Playing in the CFL is far from a death knell in a player’s career.

Lance’s father, Carlton, played in the CFL with the Roughriders. Quarterbacks as recently as Jeff Garcia and Doug Flutie have played in the CFL. Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon also played in the league.

Trey Lance runs out of the tunnel

It’s unclear what Lance will do now. The 24-year-old’s career is far from over.
