Jerry stated it was his call and no one, not Dak or Big Mike was aware before Jerry pulling the trigger.
Why if he was 100% happy with Dak?
4th rounders have value.
We await the Spring for further answers.
I like the Trey Lance trade. It is a rare situation for a 23 year old QB that was drafted top 10 to not get more opportunities.
- He had 4 starts and was out injured at the end of the 4th one.
- Aaron Rodgers didn't even start a game his first 3 seasons.
- Same for Romo.
- Farve: In his rookie season, he attempted 4 passes, resulting in zero completions and 2 interceptions.
- Green Bays' current QB looked like a Deer in the headlights in his 1 start as a rookie.
SF and Shannahan had decided that Lance was a better option than Jimmy G. and gave Lance the job to start the 2022 season.
- They probably would have kept playing Lance if not for his injury in game 2.
- i.e. He never really got bench per se. After his injury, Brock Purdy proved himself as a great fit in Shannahan's scheme.
If Trey Lance could win the sarting job in this year's training camp, it would solve many issues.
- Save 34M by trading Dak.
- Use that cap space and any picks obtains for Dak to improve the defense and running game.
