Trey Lance’s career with the 49ers is effectively over, but it’s been more a product of bad luck than bad play. Here’s a look at how the former star prospect got here.
ESPN’s Ryan Clark apologized on social media on Thursday after comments he made about Tua Tagovailoa appearing out of shape drew the ire of the Miami Dolphins quarterback.
In an appearance on NFL Live earlier this week, Clark said Tagovailoa “wasn’t in the gym” this offseason and criticized him for not “eating what the nutritionist advised” while describing the QB’s body as “thick” and comparing his body to a stripper.
Tagovailoa didn’t take kindly to the comments, saying in a media session Wednesday that Clark should “keep my name out [of his] mouth”.
Shohei Ohtani’s free agency will now have complications. It won’t stop a horde of eager suitors, but it might change the shape of the two-way star’s eventual deal.
The 49ers have quite the dilemma on their hands.
With 17 days to go until San Francisco’s season opener against the Steelers, second-year quarterback Brock Purdy appears entrenched as the starter. On Wednesday, news broke that former Jets and Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold will serve as Purdy’s backup.
That would leave Trey Lance—the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft out of North Dakota State two short years ago—in limbo, with reports suggesting the 49ers would try to trade him.
Amid all the hand-wringing over Trey Lance’s failing to beat out Sam Darnold for the 49ers’ No. 2 quarterback spot and, thus, placing himself on the trading block, we are failing to recognize the root of the problem.
After the football world largely graduated intellectually from a phase in which we all blamed the lack of a draft pick’s success on the players themselves, holding them up to numbers and round standards they didn’t choose for themselves, we seem to have bolted feverishly in the other direction.
The New York Giants have sent a seventh-round draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for Isaiah Simmons, a former high draft pick with lots of potential but not a lot of production.
The trade was first reported by ESPN. The Giants and Cardinals both announced the trade.

The Week 0 college football slate features a pair of top 25 teams, No. 13 Notre Dame and No. 6 USC. The good news is those storied rivals will play for the 81st time this season. The bad news is that game isn’t until October.
Instead, to kick off the season, the Fighting Irish and Trojans will take on Navy and San Jose State, respectively, teams they’re both expected to roll by at least three scores.
College football fans will have to wait until Week 1 for the first matchup of the 2023 campaign that features two top 25 teams (No. 5 LSU vs. No.
“I am so honored that, right in the center of Los Angeles, in front of the place known as the house that Kobe built, we are going to unveil his statue so that his legacy can be celebrated forever,” Vanessa Bryant said in the announcement.
With 24 teams down, we’re bringing the mailbag back. It’s a day late this week, and hopefully we get back to publishing it Wednesday next week. For now …
From johnwinger (@johnwinger98524): Yes or no, does [Jonathan Taylor] get traded? If you answer yes, who ya got?
John, I’d say this is going to come down to where Colts GM Chris Ballard draws the line. It takes only one, but I don’t think another team is going to give up a first-round pick to get him when you consider that a big, new contract will almost certainly have to be part of the exchange, too.
