Trey Lance Linked to CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders as NFL Future Remains Uncertain

Trey Lance, the former No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, faces an uncertain future as he has yet to find a new NFL team after his contract with the Dallas Cowboys expired. Reports indicate that the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) have added Lance to their negotiation list, allowing them exclusive rights to negotiate a contract if he chooses to play in Canada. After struggling with injuries and limited playing time, Lance has not appeared in a game since 2023, raising concerns about his career trajectory. Many fans and analysts express skepticism about his chances of returning to the NFL, viewing a potential move to the CFL as a significant step down. Despite his disappointing NFL tenure, some believe that a stint in the CFL could provide Lance with the opportunity to regain confidence and showcase his talent. However, it remains unclear if he is willing to transition to a lower-level league after being a highly touted prospect.
