Trey Lance Signs One-Year Deal with Los Angeles Chargers

The former No. 3 overall pick will compete for the backup quarterback role behind Justin Herbert in his third NFL team in five seasons.

Trey Lance has agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers worth up to $6.2 million, marking his third NFL team in five seasons.
Lance will compete with Taylor Heinicke for the backup quarterback role behind Chargers starter Justin Herbert.
The signing reunites Lance with head coach Jim Harbaugh, who previously coached the San Francisco 49ers, though not during Lance's tenure.
Drafted third overall in 2021 by the 49ers, Lance's career has been hindered by injuries, limited playing time, and competition for starting roles.
Lance's NFL journey includes 12 games played, five starts, and career statistics of 1,063 passing yards, five touchdowns, and four interceptions.
