Former NFL quarterback Trey Lance has inked a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers worth up to $6.2 million. The deal positions him to compete for the backup role behind starter Justin Herbert against Taylor Heinicke during the 2025 season. Despite being selected third overall in the 2021 Draft, Lance’s NFL playing time has been limited to 12 games.
Additional reports from early April 2025 indicate that injuries and scarce opportunities have hindered his career progression. The Chargers appear to be banking on Lance’s potential to provide depth and challenge in the quarterback room, setting the stage for a competitive season ahead.
