WATCH: Trey Lance was ‘a little annoyed’ by the return of Jimmy Garoppolo
Apr. 26, 2024 – 11:09 – Trey Lance will be the San Francisco 49ers’ starting quarterback for the Week 1 opener, but the return of Jimmy Garoppolo sparked debate about the organization’s faith in Lance. It also reportedly struck a nerve with the second-year passer right before the regular season.
Lance is the new face of the 49ers’ franchise, but it hasn’t been a smooth transition. San Francisco entered the offseason confident it could trade Garoppolo to a quarterback-needy team, offloading his contract and picking up Day 2 picks to strengthen the roster. Instead, Garoppolo will be backing up Lance on Sunday.
