Just under two and a half years ago, the 49ers made a trade that appeared to set themselves up for the future. San Francisco shipped three draft picks to the Dolphins for the rights to draft quarterback Trey Lance, a development the team successfully kept close to the vest for much of the 2021 draft cycle.
Strange things have happened between then and now, however. First, Lance hurt his ankle in the second game of the 2022 season. Then, rookie seventh-round pick Brock Purdy emerged as a solid quarterback—solid enough, in fact, to lead the 49ers to the NFC championship game.

Sage Steele settled her lawsuit with ESPN and parent company Disney last Tuesday. She spoke about the disparate treatment she faced compared to her more liberal colleagues later in the week:

Corey Davis was the fifth pick of the NFL draft six short years ago.
Now, the Jets wide receiver is walking away from football.
Davis, 28, surprised the football world by announcing his retirement Wednesday afternoon in an Instagram post just 19 days before New York’s season opener against the Bills.
