There seems to be no bad blood between the San Francisco 49ers and Trey Lance after the team traded their former first-round draft pick to the Dallas Cowboys last week. But Lance appears ready to move on from the organization and begin his new journey in the NFL. 

Speaking with reporters for the first time since the Niners dealt him to Dallas in exchange for a fourth-round pick, Lance expressed his desire to "move on" from the situation on Tuesday and take in as much as he can behind starting quarterback Dak Prescott and veteran backup Cooper Rush.

"Very excited to be here, first and foremost. Just excited to get to continue to know the guys," Lance said.
