WEBVTT - John Lynch Addresses Trey Lance, Nick Bosa Updates | Press Pass

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe go over the timeline of how that it might

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>have been celerated today when more teams gone.

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know when I guess that was Wednesday when

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Kyle uh informed uh Tray of of the decision with

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Sam being the number two, and you know, I think

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 2>that led to just some organic conversations between them, and

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Kyle came up to my office and just said, hey,

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you knows, as we started talking, you know, trade, Trey's

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>like he always is, he's all in, but he but

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>he you know, he did suggest and ask, you know, hey,

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>if if we could find the right opportunity that that

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 2>he would appreciate that.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>He also said he'd be here and and uh and

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>continue to compete. And uh, you know I had a

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>chance then to talk to Trey, talk to Trey's agent,

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I gave him my word that, you know,

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd look and see what's out there. So we started

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 2>that process, and you know, it culminated today with with

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Dallas happening and and uh, you know, it was it

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>felt like a long time, but it was really a

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 2>short period of time.

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 3>A couple of days.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 2>Where we're talking to teams and teams are reaching out

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>to us and you know. The the end result was

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>what we ended up with.

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Give them permission to seek a trade is what happened.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 2>We kind of worked on it together and I told

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Collins is his rep. I told Patrick, you know,

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>feel free to go out and you know, find find

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>teams if you want. So we kind of kept in

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>communication during the process, and uh, you know, I want

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>to let you guys know, Trey was Trey was tremendous

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>during this whole thing, handled it, you know, as well

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 2>as you could, and just asked if there if there

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>is a good landing spot, you know, I'd be appreciative

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>of that. But if I'm here, I'm here.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 4>It's traded up to get them gave them all these picks.

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I give up.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>On a guy who's only twenty three years old and

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>only halfway through that contract.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a fair question, and it's something we talked

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot about internally, you know. Ultimately, uh, you know,

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>with Brock being healthy, number one and you know, we're

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>excited about that. Sam being the number two. The reality

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.119
<v Speaker 2>it's not the way everybody works it, but with our system,

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the number one takes a lot of reps, the number

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>two takes the Scout team reps. It's just not a

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of opportunity.

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I heard Kyle talk about it to get better, and

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what he needs to do. It needs to play

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to get better. I think that's that's going to be

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>his opportunity. And play, I mean ideally games, but play

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>is running scout team, play is doing all those things.

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>We weren't going to have that. And so how do

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you how do you allow a player to grow? And so,

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, back to what we put into them. You know,

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>we take believe me, you know, we take full accountability.

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>We own that and you know, but as I said,

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>you know on TV today, I think his story is

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>very much unwritten.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 3>I've got a.

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Lot of belief in the kid, and uh, you know

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 2>think with his talent, with his work ethic, he's gonna

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>forge a nice, you know, career in this in this thing.

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:22.119
<v Speaker 2>And so love the kid, you know, Kyle and I

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>when we broke the news to him today, saw him

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>light up a little bit. And that's he loves it here.

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 2>He was very appreciative of the opportunity, you know, like

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Trey typical tray. He apologized to us and there was

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>nothing for him to apologize for, and we're just we're

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>happy that that he's got a spot. And uh, you know,

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys came up big, and I think that's an

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>indication that they that they're excited to have him and

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and we're excited for Trey's new opportunity and we'll always

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>be big beans. It's time to have to trade someone

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 2>not I mean, are you pleasantly surprised that you got

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>for under these conditions? You know, I it's not what

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>it looked like when we first started having conversation when

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>anywhere close. So it did advance in a hurry today,

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, and so you know, not doing cartwheels over it,

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 2>because my preference would have been that it worked out

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and it didn't, and there's circumstances for that, and we

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>can explain them away, but the reality is the reality.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>He had a couple opportunities. I think injuries played a part,

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>and you know, where we're at as a team, we

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>felt like this was the best situation for us, also

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the best situation for.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Him behind Rock, which is understandable.

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>But I think a lot of people don't understand how

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Trey fell behind Sam Donald, especially we were there.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 4>We watched every snap, and I don't think it was

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 4>clear to us that Sam was clearly better.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>What happened. I think it was a tight pattal grant

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>and I think kle would would say the same thing.

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 2>But ultimately, you know, coaches are paid to make those decisions,

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 2>and they felt collectively that Sam had separated himself and

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>uh that wasn't lack of uh for lack of Trey

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 2>competing his tail off and competing his and he he

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>improved greatly. So you know, I think, you know, we

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>we were real proud of the effort he made. Sam

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>has had a really good camp and you know, you

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 2>see Sam's arm, talent, his abilities. I think he's a

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>good you know, the same reasons why we were interested

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>in bringing him here have kind of come to fruition

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.119
<v Speaker 2>how it's gotta go happen. But uh, ultimately we felt

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>that was the best decision. And and then you know

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 2>I explained from.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>There, go ahead, Eric, Yeah right right, yeah.

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, try not to look at things like that.

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Eric.

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 2>This thing's not an exact science, but when you put

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that much into a player, you know, you're you know,

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>it's it usually is you know, really tough to rebound from. Fortunately,

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>we've been able to continue to grow this team, to

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>make this team better. And you know, we we were

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>very fortunate for Brock to become what he's become. Now

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 2>he's got to continue to do it. But you know,

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the early returns are good, and you know, everything from

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>from his rookie year to the somewhat I won't say miraculous,

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>but he made a hell of a return, you know,

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and with some hurdles in there, starting surgery late and

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>all that, for him to be where he's at and

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>we had to open our eyes and say, okay, he's cleared,

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>but is he ready? And he kept showing us that

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>he was, and then the other things transpired that led

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 2>us to where we're at.

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Calf Sport. How much did the salary cap ramification of

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the average quarterback makes a million, third string quarterbacks making

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>nine his cap figure? How much did that cap figure

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and the cap implications.

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I think, I think in future years Tray's on the

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>minimum this year. You know in future years, next year

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>it kicks up quite a bit. And so and that

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of coincides when when our stuff is going to

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>get tight. So you know, of course that that plays

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 2>a factor. As Kyle said, we would have loved to

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>kept all four of those guys.

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 3>In the building.

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh, and Tray is a you know, I think everyone

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>should know. He's a tremendous teammate. He's a tremendous human being.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>And so never was it like we were worried we're

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a mal content. Trey told us that that, hey,

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>if i'm here, I'm here and I'm rolling, but if

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>you if you could find a spot for me. And

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>so there was some level of that, and uh, you know,

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 2>finding a nice landing spot for him, and I think

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>we did that.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Going back to the process that led you to trade

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 4>when you drafted him. This is hindsight, but how much

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 4>do you think maybe you've underestimated the gap between where

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 4>you were as a team, what you needed from quarterback

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 4>versus how much he needed to develop and time.

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, he hadn't played a ton of football,

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>So we knew we were taking, you know, somewhat of

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>a chance. But you know, I believe to this day,

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>if we hadn't taken them, someone would have right behind us.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think the next pick, and so I

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 2>don't think we were the only one seeing it. He's

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 2>a very talented young man. Uh, he's got a lot

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of qualities in his makeup that that lead towards and like,

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 2>believe me, I still think that story is unwritten. So

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>it didn't work for us. But I think I mean,

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the things we've been talking about

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and thinking about. I mean there's all kinds of stories

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 2>from you know, Steve Young who sat for a while,

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Warren Moon up in Canada, to Kurt Warner, you know,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>working in a grocery store. So like, I still very

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>much have belief that he's going to become a player. Now,

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>it's just not going to be for us, and we

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>take full accountability for that. And you know, and in

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>some way, yeah, we got lucky on Brock, but sure

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>that set back our team. It would have been nice

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to have those picks and all that, you know, So

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>we do own that. And fortunately we still have a

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 2>really good football team that I think Scott is uh,

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, a legitimate shot. We're focused on Game one,

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 2>but we we have a championship level roster. Now it's

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>what we make of it.

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh, yeah, I do.

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we got a lot of work to

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 2>do and we'll continue to do that, you know, he's

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 2>a great player. We want him here, we need him here.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.
