Report: Trey Lance 'a little annoyed' after Jimmy Garoppolo decision
After seemingly endless summer trade chatter surrounding Jimmy Garoppolo, the San Francisco 49ers and the 30-year-old quarterback agreed to a restructured contract one week ago to keep him in the Bay Area as a backup. According to reports, upon hearing the news, starting signal-caller Trey Lance wasn't thrilled.
Lance was officially tabbed as the team's starting quarterback for the 2022 season in late July.
In six games (two starts) last season as a rookie, the 22-year-old went 41-for-71 for 603 passing yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 168 yards and one score on the ground. Lance didn't take a snap in any of San Francisco's three postseason contests.
The Niners will open up the 2022 season on the road against the Chicago Bears at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
