The 49ers formally announced Trey Lance’s trade to the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick, and coach Kyle Shanahan said the locker room’s reaction was “fine” upon Friday…
SANTA CLARA — As beloved as Trey Lance was in two seasons with the 49ers, Friday’s trade did not exactly catch players off-guard, not after Brock Purdy seized the starting job with last season’s brilliance and not after Sam Darnold was announced Wednesday as the No. 2 quarterback ahead of Lance.
“It was fine,” Shanahan said Saturday on a media conference call. “Guys saw earlier in the day. I’m in the locker room way before and a bunch of players are, so I got to talk to a bunch of guys. Trey came over here, John and I gave him the news personally. He saw Deebo in the parking lot right when he went out, and maybe Aiyuk, so they all got to touch base with him.”
Fullback Kyle Juszczyk’s reaction: “Teams move on from guys, but it’s the human part that’s the hardest, because we all love Trey so much. He’s such a good person and great locker room guy that we’re definitely going to miss him. But I am happy to have a team that seems like they wanted him.” “Fresh start going to Dallas. He’ll enjoy it,” tight end George Kittle said. “They’ll take good care of him down there — learn from a veteran quarterback. It’s gonna be good for him. And we’re all very happy for him”“No,” Kittle said, before joking: “We could go like beat him up right now. But, no I wouldn’t do that. I like him too much.”
Lynch, the 49ers’ general manager, said Friday night he expects Bosa to be signed in the next week, adding: “We’ve got a lot of work to do and we’ll continue to do that. He’s a great player. We want him here. We need him here.”The 49ers will work out free-agent kickers and Shanahan is unaware if that includes Robbie Gould, their kicker the previous six seasons.
