A surprising NFC outfit has been named as a potential destination for Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance.
The 23-year-old’s NFL career hasn’t quite gone as planned, with injury problems also to thank. He was traded to Dallas after two unfruitful seasons with the 49ers and is likely hoping to land somewhere that would help him get his career back on track.
The Vikings could be that team, according to Rich Eisen.
Speaking on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ this week, Eisen listed Lance to Minnesota as one of his top-5 rumors from the NFL Combine, with Kirk Cousins possibly heading into free agency.
Eisen interviewed Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell at said event and was told that Cousins is a “process guy” who has “earned the right to be a free agent.”
“Before he said that, I heard this rumor that a possible solve at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings is a native of the state, and his name is Trey Lance,” the reporter noted.
“Trey Lance is a possible solve for the Vikings,” he continued. “Now the Cowboys picked up — kept him on the roster long enough to get a bonus, so they’re paying him money to keep him, and they, as you know, got him for a (fourth-round pick). I’m just wondering if the Vikings flip him a (third-round pick), a Friday night pick. Do they go ahead and do that?”

Lance was the third-overall pick by the Niners in 2021. As mentioned above, he was dealt to the Cowboys, with Brock Purdy breaking out as the best starting option almost out of nowhere.
The former North Dakota State star has only played eight games in the NFL since he was drafted, throwing for 797 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions on 55 percent completion.
