49ers ex-bust Trey Lance trade proposal would have him switch spots with Vikings’ J.J. McCarthy originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The San Francisco 49ers know their fair share of drafting a young quarterback bust, with the most recent example being Trey Lance. Lance has been around the league for the past few years, and some still think it could happen elsewhere. In a recent trade idea, he'd move on to the Minnesota Vikings in what could possibly give him a chance to play if things go south.
Vikings Receive: Trey Lance, Sixth Round Pick
Chargers Receive: J.J. McCarthy
“Getting anything for McCarthy is a win for the Vikings at this point. Even a Day 3 pick and a backup quarterback who has been just as bad. Lance could be a better fit for the system and at least has the athleticism to be a difference-maker with his legs if called upon for a short stint, or he could be utilized in special packages that take advantage of his abilities if needed,” Mark Morales-Smith of SI wrote.
As 49ers fans all know too well at this point, Lance is just what he is at this stage. He likely isn't going to be a starting quarterback in the NFL and is better suited as a backup. There's nothing wrong with that, though he was expected to be a potential franchise guy in San Francisco at one point. The Vikings, however, could view him as a nice backup option.
