NFL news: Trey Lance takes step toward major career change after failed 49ers, Cowboys stints – maa

REGINA, SK — In a stunning development for the 2021 NFL Draft’s most enigmatic quarterback, Trey Lance has been added to the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ negotiation list, SportsCentre’s Dave Naylor reported Wednesday. The move grants the CFL team exclusive rights to sign the free agent passer, potentially reviving a career derailed by injuries and circumstance.

A Cross-Border Football Odyssey

NFL news: Trey Lance takes step toward major career change after failed  49ers, Cowboys stints

The 24-year-old’s potential CFL pivot comes with poetic symmetry:
🏈 Family Ties: Father Carlton Lance starred for Saskatchewan (2004 CFL All-Rookie)
🏈 Clean Slate: Free agent after Dallas release; no NFL interest materialized
🏈 CFL Advantage: Larger field could showcase dual-threat skills

“This isn’t a step back—it’s a chance to play meaningful snaps again,” an AFC scout told ESPN.

NFL Career in Review

San Francisco (2021-22):
• Drafted 3rd overall (costing 3 first-round picks)
• 8 games played (4 starts)
• 57.7% completion, 5 TD/2 INT
• Season-ending ankle fracture (2022)

Dallas (2023):
• Traded for 4th-round pick
• Zero regular-season snaps behind Prescott/Rush
• Released after preseason

The Roughriders’ negotiation list (max 45 players) is a low-risk gamble:
✅ No financial commitment unless signed
✅ System fit: OC Marc Mueller favors mobile QBs
✅ Ticket appeal: Marquee name for struggling 1-4 team

“We’re always looking for high-ceiling talent,” said GM Jeremy O’Day, without confirming talks.

CFL vs. NFL Reality Check

Lance would face:
• 20-second play clock (vs. 40 in NFL)
• Wider fields (65 yds vs. 53.3 yds)
• 3-down football altering QB rhythms

Former CFL MVP Bo Levi Mitchell’s take“If he embraces this, the tools are there to dominate up here.”

What’s Next?

• 10-day window for exclusive negotiations
• Potential 2024 debut: July 13 vs. BC Lions
• NFL out clause: Common in CFL contracts
