Trey Lance Returns to the Chargers on a One-Year Deal

Saturday, March 14, 12:22 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have re-signed quarterback Trey Lance to a one-year deal worth up to $6.75 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Lance continues to operate in a depth role, as he has made just 16 appearances (six starts) since being drafted third overall by the San Francisco 49ers in 2021. He backed up Justin Herbert in Los Angeles last year, making four appearances and one start. He finished the year 0-1 with a 47.4% completion rate, 226 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He also rushed for 85 yards on the ground. Lance isn't a very flashy name, and the $6.75 million maximum value of his deal likely has a much lower base rate with plenty of playing time-based incentives. He's avoidable in all fantasy leagues as long as Herbert remains healthy, and even if the starter misses time, Lance wouldn't be a very appealing streamer.

Mac Jones News

Mac Jones Boosts his Dynasty Stock With Solid First Year in San Fran

Friday, March 27, 6:30 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones ended up playing in 11 games and making eight starts in his first year in the Bay Area in 2025 due to injuries to starter Brock Purdy, and he was impressive when on the field. Jones went 5-3 as a starter for the Niners, going 201-for-289 passing (69.6% completion percentage) with 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 27-year-old former 15th overall pick in 2021 by the New England Patriots out of Alabama has garnered plenty of trade interest this offseason after signing a two-year, $8.41 million contract with the 49ers in March of 2025. The 49ers reportedly have an astronomically high asking price tag on Jones, though, so it seems unlikely he'll be dealt this offseason. Unless Jones is traded to a team that will give him a chance to start in 2026, he'll merely be an experienced, low-ceiling QB stash in dynasty leagues for depth at the most important position in football.
