The #49ers are naming Sam Darnold their No. 2 quarterback and the team is exploring options with Trey Lance, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Darnold will back up Brock Purdy, while the future of Lance — the No. 3 overall pick in 2021 — is unclear. pic.twitter.com/HxXQkfM6nq

#49ers QB Trey Lance is reportedly “shaken up” by the news that he is the teams QB3.
He isn’t on the field for practice today and the expectation is that he will be requesting a trade. pic.twitter.com/QNibdfmY3d

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Ian Rapoport names the #Vikings as a team that “makes sense” for #49ers QB Trey Lance.
Minnesota had interest in drafting Lance when he was coming out. They already drafted a rookie QB in Jaren Hall. pic.twitter.com/20W1ddKp9A

As the #49ers weigh options for Trey Lance, calling his hometown team, the #Vikings (who were a rumored destination before the Draft) makes sense. Nothing is impossible, but MIN has a backup in Nick Mullens and drafted rookie QB in Jaren Hall. Post-draft, these deals are harder.

Here we go. Trey Lance on the Vikings feels like a really good spot. Sam Darnold is the perfect backup QB for the 49ers.
