He also said he&#8217;s 100% healthy physically.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old has dealt with injuries aplenty, from a broken finger to a knee sprain to a broken ankle suffered in Week 2 of last season that, in hindsight, concluded his playing days in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are taking a low-risk chance on Lance, having shipped a fourth-round pick to the 49ers in the hopes of growing a young QB behind Dak Prescott\ufeff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He welcomed me with open arms,&#8221; Lance said of Prescott, via the team website. &#8220;It meant a lot to me. This business is crazy but, for me, I&#8217;m not looking forward &#8212; at all. I&#8217;m just trying to take it one day at a time. This guy has played at a very high level for a long time so, obviously, just tons of respect for him, as I think he deserves and gets from across the league.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo on Trey Lance&#x27;s trade to Cowboys: &#x27;He&#x27;s got a bright future in this league&#x27;            <\/li>\n<li>              Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sees opportunity for Trey Lance to develop under Dak Prescott&#xA0;            <\/li>\n<li>              Niners trade QB Trey Lance to Cowboys for fourth-round pick            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As Lance sets up in Dallas and under the Prescott learning tree, he&#8217;s looking to help out the Cowboys in any way he can while leaving an unfortunate first two years behind him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not how I expected it to go. It&#8217;s not how I think a lot of people expected it to go,&#8221; Lance said. &#8220;But I believe that everything happens for a reason. I think I&#8217;m here for a reason. Regardless of what it is, just want to try to find a way to help the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers now infamously traded a haul of three first-round picks to move up to No. 3 overall and take Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft. It didn&#8217;t work out for the franchise or the young QB.<\/p>\n<p>The latter&#8217;s hoping a do-over in Dallas could remedy his career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a little bit surreal for me hearing I was going to come here knowing everything about this historic organization,&#8221; Lance said, via ESPN. &#8220;Just compared to the 49ers, obviously you think of that as another one of the top-tier, historic organizations, but for me, just very excited to be here. Coach (Mike) McCarthy and the entire coaching staff, man, nothing but knowledge being in all these meetings. It&#8217;s been awesome for me. It&#8217;s been fun. Kind of a breath of fresh air to learn a new offense and being around the guys the last two days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/trey-lance-had-a-big-smile-when-he-found-out-he-was-traded-to-cowboys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\ufeffTrey Lance\ufeff has arrived in Dallas with a smile across his face.
