If Kirk Cousins walks into free agency in 2024, the Minnesota Vikings will need to choose a quarterback in the draft, and Trey Lance is a potential contender to take the starting role.
Rich Eisen listed his top five combine rumors following the NFL Scouting Combine. The first was that Lance, a native of Marshall, Minnesota, might be a “possible solve” at quarterback for the Vikings because head coach Kevin O’Connell appeared content that Cousins has “earned the right to be a free agent.”
“Prior to his remarks, I had heard a rumor that Trey Lance, a native of the state, could be the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback in the future,” Eisen stated on his show on March 4.
Lance, who signed a four-year, $34.1 million contract, was seen as the 49ers’ future franchise quarterback after being selected third overall by the team in 2021.
Prior to the 2022 season, Lance defeated Jimmy Garoppolo for the starting role, but in Week 2, he sustained an ankle injury that would terminate his season. San Francisco’s hopes of acquiring Lance were finally dashed when Brocy Purdy emerged; the player was transferred to the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick last summer.
