| 12/29/25 | Justin Herbert to sit in Week 18. Trey Lance to draw the start vs. Denver Justin Herbert will not start Sunday vs. Broncos, Jim Harbaugh said. (The Athletic - Daniel Popper) FF Today's Take: There is not much to say here, other than the dim prospects of Chargers players facing arguably the best defense in the league fall pretty much off the grid with Trey Lance starting instead of Herbert. Expect Los Angeles to go with a very run-heavy attack with Omarion Hampton and Lance pushing for 30 carries. Ladd McConkey might be worth using as a flex, but even that is not a given.

| 8/29/25 | 49ers dragged into Micah Parsons trade reaction for all the wrong reasons. In lieu of Parsons being dealt to the Green Bay Packers, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report ranked the eight most shocking trades. The 49ers are not going to like to hear that they came in at number one for their trade-up for Trey Lance. The San Francisco 49ers' choice to trade a massive set of picks to move up in the 2021 draft—without even knowing which quarterback would be available—was jaw-dropping.

| 8/27/25 | Jim Harbaugh rescues, resurrects Chargers' QB Trey Lance. A year ago after the NFL's roster cutdown, Trey Lance was a dead man walking. Now, thanks for Jim Harbaugh 's belief, he's a Justin Herbert sack away from having the Los Angeles Chargers in his hands. Discarded and traded by the San Francisco 49ers, Lance started the final preseason game for the Dallas Cowboys in 2024 and threw five interceptions. There were many analysts who figured he would be cut. Dallas kept him, but as QB3 buried behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush.

| 8/26/25 | Chargers' Trey Lance gets career-changing news after being a 49ers draft bust. For the first time in a while, Trey Lance has gotten some fantastic news. The former San Francisco 49ers No. 2 overall pick, a bust, has received a promotion with the Los Angeles Chargers. For much of his 49ers tenure, that didn't seem true.

| 8/24/25 | Chargers should try to salvage draft pick by trading Taylor Heinicke. What are the Los Angeles Chargers going to do with quarterback Taylor Heinicke? After a completely miserable preseason, Heinicke has almost certainly played himself out of L.A., leaving the Chargers with only the option to cut him or find a trade partner. After being vastly outplayed by Trey Lance this preseason, he is the No. 3 quarterback on the roster, and unless the Chargers keep three on the 53-man roster, there is just no place for him. Heinicke was a huge favorite (at least in my mind) to be the top backup to Justin Herbert this coming season, but Lance used the preseason to put forth the best efforts we have seen in his young NFL career, while Heinicke seemingly melted under that pressure.
