Field Marshal Trey Lance reached an agreement on a one -year agreement for a value of up to $ 6.2 million with the Los Angeles chargers, Schefter sources told ESPN on Friday.
Lance and Taylor Heinicke are now backups behind the charter of the Chargers, Justin Herbert.
Herbert has been one of the most durable field marshals of the NFL during his first five seasons. He began 62 consecutive games to start his career, which was the second longest active run in the NFL, before a fractured right index finger in week 14 of 2023 finished his season.
Even so, Herbert has played through injuries, and although a game was not lost in 2024, he was often limited and missed snapshots or rooms. The injury error began in the training field when a diagnosis of plantar fascia kept it out for two weeks. Herbert suffered a high ankle sprain in week 2 that aggravated the following week, and navigated a thigh hematoma and an ankle injury separated later in the year.
Lance gives the chargers another competent support option, along with Heinicke, who appeared in four games last season, if Herbert wasted time. The signing also probably means that Easton Stick, the field marshal of the third chain of the Chargers last season, will probably not return.
The number 3 selection in the 2021 draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Lance is still a mystery even after four seasons in the League.
It started four games in two years with San Francisco, publishing a 2-2 record while launching for 797 yards, 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 56 of 102 passes. An ankle injury cost him his initial work, which leads to the success of Brock Purdy with the niners.
In 2023, the Dallas Cowboys acquired Lance for a fourth -round selection in the draft last year, but did not play a click in 2023 and only saw a spot service in 2024 until the end of the regular season against the Washington commanders, which completed 20 of 34 passes for 244 yards without a touchdown or an interaction, and functioning for 26 yards In six caressing in a last loss of 23-19 Second.
He also played most snapshots in last year’s preseason for the cowboys, completing 73 of 113 passes for 662 yards and two touchdowns, but launched five interceptions at the end of the preseason against the Chargers.
Lance, 24, is younger than the first round of 2024 BO NX and former Michael Penix Jr. coach Mike McCarthy said Lance only needed to continue gaining experience because he played only 19 games in North Dakota State before entering the NFL.
