This is the move of the NFL season that has baffled a lot of individuals. The move in question is the transfer of Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys from the San Francisco 49ers. It has been coined as a controversial and unwise transfer in the media. Now, a Hall of Fame quarterback has joined the bandwagon.

The 3X SB champion also shared one piece of advice that the 49ers management needs to follow in the future. The 49ers aren’t at all good when it comes to making trades and onboarding young recruits. However, it seems like the team isn’t learning the lesson and making repeated mistakes. Hopefully, Steve Young’s advice and logical reasoning will be taken seriously by the 49ers management.

Young who’s involved with Cowboys rivalry didn’t mince any words while reflecting on the controversial trade-off. “I have PTSD. “I feel like we should never trade anything to the Dallas Cowboys ever again after the Charles Haley disastrous mistake. You can easily say we traded away some Super Bowls when we did that. That’s an overstatement. But I felt that way.” Trey Lance found a new home in Dallas Cowboys after his annexure from SF 49ers.

Trey Lance was doing everything right for the 49ers. However, that’s when the 49ers management derailed the player’s plans. He was traded to the Cowboys for a fourth-round pick in less than three years. The news came into planning during the 49ers’ last pre-season game with the LA Chargers.
The HC, however, gave a clear explanation that Lance was under no pressure for a trade-off. He said “When we told him that he was going to be the three, if he could find another opportunity that was good, we’d allow him to do that, and he did,” This can be defined as a major backtrack in 49ers backing their players after investing heavily for the QB.
