How the 49ers can get more for Trey Lance.

Right now, the 49ers would be foolish to trade Trey Lance.Given their volatility, this is not the time for them to be releasing quarterbacks.

Brock Purdy is still recovering from elbow surgery, and it's uncertain whether his recovery timeline will be on track in the upcoming four months.

What the 49ers can get in exchange for Lance, however, is essentially what renders any trade useless.

Lance is worth very little. He cannot possibly fetch the 49ers anything more than a Day 3 choice in the draft.

There is one way the 49ers can get more in return if they are considering moving Lance.

Players must be added to the agreement. Right now, Lance isn't really worth much. Having recently recovered from a serious injury,

he is still a relatively young player who needs time to mature.
