Trey Lance was given a clean slate late last week when the 49ers opted to trade the former No. 3 pick to the Cowboys after he plummeted down San Francisco’s depth chart this preseason.
On Tuesday, the 23-year-old addressed the media for the first time since he landed in the Lone Star State and he seemed plenty pleased about the move.
“When I heard ‘Cowboys’, I had a big smile on my face,” Lance said about his initial reaction to the trade, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota.

Gregg Berhalter was rehired as the USMNT coach in June after a tumultuous few months with Gio Reyna and his family after the World Cup.
U.S. men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter told Vanity Fair that he has not spoken with midfielder Gio Reyna since their dispute that made headlines during and after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Josh Donaldson was the canary in the coal mine to the Yankees’ 2023 season.
When the Yankees traded for Donaldson from the Twins in March 2022, they happily assumed the $50 million over two years on his contract, even at 36 and 37 years old. After all, Donaldson’s exit velocity in 2021 (94.1 mph) was higher than in ’15, when he won the American League MVP award (92.5).
But what happened to Donaldson—the Yankees released him Tuesday as the franchise’s third-worst hitter ever—is a lesson in why teams better be careful with exit velocity and age.
The Colts will start the season with Jonathan Taylor on the physically unable to perform list, insinuating that the team will not trade the running back ahead of franchise’s Week 1 matchup on Sept. 10 against the Jaguars, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
