San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Friday that Trey Lance wanted an opportunity to compete for the backup QB job on another team.
"When we told Trey, when we told him that he wasn’t the two [quarterback], I said we’d like to keep him here as the three. But we also want to do what’s good for him, too," Shanahan told reporters.
Trey Lance, #5 of the San Francisco 49ers, looks to pass during the second half of a preseason game against the Denver Broncos at Levi's Stadium on August 19, 2023, in Santa Clara, California. "And when we looked into other teams, and he told us that he would like another opportunity to go somewhere where he had a chance to be the No. 2," Shanahan continued."We thought we got some good deals for him. There was a number of teams involved. To end up getting the fourth was a little better than we anticipated and clears up a lot of money and allows a better situation for him, too.
