Niners sign QB Lance; one #1 left unsigned … San Francisco avoided a somewhat embarrassing holdout when they signed former North Dakota State QB Trey Lance, the 3rd player selected at the 2021 draft, prior to their first official practice session later today. Lance agreed to a fully guaranteed 4-year deal worth $34.1 million with the usual club option for a 5th year. The signing of Lance leaves only QB Zack Wilson, whom the NY Jets selected with the second pick overall this past April, as the only remaining unsigned first-round pick from this year’s draft.
