Overview
- Los Angeles announced Lance’s return Saturday, with multiple reports pegging the contract’s maximum value at $6.75 million.
- Lance is expected to serve as the primary backup, giving the Chargers continuity at QB2 for 2026.
- In 2025 he appeared in four games and started Week 18 against Denver, completing 20 of 44 passes for 136 yards with one interception and adding 69 rushing yards.
- The former No. 3 pick in 2021 saw early opportunities curtailed by injury in San Francisco, was traded to Dallas for a 2024 fourth-round pick, and later signed with Los Angeles.
- The terms mirror last spring’s one-year agreement reportedly worth up to $6.2 million, reflecting the team’s short-term approach to veteran quarterback depth.
