Understand?

$27 million reasons Trey will be fine.

But CA taxes tho lol

About $13.5 million and he will be fine.

So he nets more $$ for the remainder of his deal in DAL ?

It's better they move Lance this week and get the drama out of the way. Next week is Bosa, then 2 weeks in Pitt We most focus on the goal.

First off, players paychecks are taxed via the state they play in for a given week, not the team they play for. Secondly, do people realize you pay state AND federal taxes? You can live in Florida instead of CA, and save 10% on taxes but you still pay federal...which are much higher than state taxes

Just glad we got anything for him.

Just a distraction from the Bosa holdout

Trey wanted out. He knew he can't compete with Purdy. I'm sure he saw the team gravitated towards Purdy.
I'm upset we lost all those draft picks , but looking at our roster even if we hit on those drafts we wouldn't be able to keep all our talent.
But the dumbest statement I hear is someone needs to pay for mishandling Trey Lance😂..,It's more like someone needs to get paid for finding Purdy!

People we have a winner!!! Great post!!! 😎👍👍

Given how well the roster has been built with talent Lynch and Kyle could afford to take the risk with the first round picks with Trey. Sure we were unlucky and he was a bust in the time he was here, but it does not hurt us because our luck got better with Purdy and in the next few years he will be less expensive. It was unlucky Trey got hurt and that is the way the cookie crumbles. His character was pumped up ie what a good guy he was. But that turned out to be hype as well. Unlike Jimmy G, as soon as the going got tough and there was competition at No1 and No2 Trey melted and could not stump up with better play. Then when he was demoted instead of knuckling down and never saying die (Like Jimmy G did in 21 and 22) he gave up and ran away to the Cowgirls. So his character was just as much hype and his playing talent was. In the end he proved to all that Jimmy G had the better character and the better playing talent.

I wanted a 1st or 2 1sts

Puts the rookies and last year's players on notice. If you don't live up to the hype you could be gone.

Cough kinlaw cough

Essentially they did pay for mishandling Trey. They paid 3x 1st round draft picks and pretty much got nothing in return.

Mishandling?

Maybe, just maybe it's partially Trey's fault for not developing into an NFL QB.

Kid was basically handed the starting job on an NFL SuperBowl contender last year with no competition and couldn't make it last longer than a game and a half.

Here's another consideration...Shanahan has never really developed a home grown QB. JG learned under Brady and McDaniels and was acquired via trade. Matt Ryan was an established QB before elevating his impact under Shanahan. Same with Matt Schaub. 1 good year with RGIII and then that crashed and burned (Cousins didn't really start until Gruden took over).

Lance was supposed to change that. Now it's Purdy. And I guarantee you, we'll be drafting a mid-round QB in '24.

Brock is a home grown QB whom Kyle has developed extraordinary well thus far.

Kyle hasn't developed Brock because he already had 4 years of starts in college. All Kyle really did was teach him his system.

Trey was the one that needed developing and they failed on that.

Wait a minute, what? So its not enough to be a rookie man, but said rookie must have limited college experience in order to have been developed by the coaches. So by this logic, Walsh/Wyche didn't develop Montana, Walsh/Holmgren/Shanahan didn't develop Young. Got it.

They should've kept Lance over Darnold thats my opinion. If Brock does go down and some how Darnold takes us to the promise land I'll come back to quote this and glady eat all the crows in the world.

Eh.....

The dude wanted to leave....end of story....

I am coming around to the idea Trey knew he can't beat out Brock, so. he wanted out. A narrative I read is the 49ers let Trey's agent ask around to find him a new landing spot. He or his agent saw the cowboys and maybe thought about Dak and what will happen with his salary in the next two years. Maybe Lance's long term plan is get with Dallas...learn the system, try to leap frog Cooper Rush next year and make it economically prudent for the Cowboys to start Lance year 5 vs Dak.

It is wild speculation, but that is all we really have and it does make some sense. Only thing we "think we know" is Lance asked for a trade, and the 49ers let Trey's agent ask around. Only other thing we "think we know"....he would rather be the 3rd string on Dallas then the 3rd string here...

We failed on the draft Trey front on so many levels. Trey was not worth his cost, Trey should not have been a day one pick. On top of that we over estimated his ability to digest NFL defenses, We over estimated his accuracy, we over estimated his mobility and we clearly over estimated his loyalty to team vs his expectations of playing.

My opinion is that
1.We don't need 4 threads for an ex player.
2. People need to move on.

from what I remember about basketball contracts...bonus monies...like roster bonus, achievement bonus and of course half your game checks avoid state tax in Texas and Florida. if you have home field in the playoffs it could matter for those as well. It CAN also effect endorsement money.

It can add...

Sucks to lose him and that he didn't pan out to be Mahomes 2.0 but at the end of the day he got $27 mil to sit on the sidelines almost 90% of his time on the team and the franchise lost a boatload of picks and no return on their money.

I'd say Trey was the winner in all of this in the end.
