A reasonable depth move, securing a high-upside backup behind franchise cornerstone Justin Herbert. Multiple headlines confirm this is a structured backup role, not a competition for the starting job. The strongest signal is Lance's familiarity with the organization, suggesting a smooth transition and reliable emergency option. Fans are buzzing about his brother Bryce's Saints draft selection, adding an interesting family subplot. Lance will develop quietly behind Herbert, and this low-risk signing could pay dividends if injuries strike.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Los Angeles Chargers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Trey's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL QBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $6.8M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the QB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at below-market money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
