Ex-49ers QB Trey Lance put on CFL teams negotiation list NBC Bay Area [Video]

Could Trey Lance’s football career soon be headed up north?

The 49ers’ No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft currently is a free agent after spending two seasons as the Dallas Cowboys’ third-string quarterback. And while there hasn’t appeared to be any interest in him on the open market in America yet, a Canadian Football League team reportedly has its eye on the 24-year-old.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have added Lance to their negotiation list, TSN football insider Dave Naylor reported Wednesday, meaning the CFL team has exclusive negotiating rights with Lance should he ever decide to join the league. As noted by Naylor, Lance’s father Carlton played for the Roughriders in 1993.
