Kyle Phoenix Barber of SB Nation's Baltimore Beatdown said that Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta flatly denied that the team was ever interested in the quarterback: "That's just bad reporting, in my opinion.

The San Francisco 49ers sent Lance to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, August 26, in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2024.

Lance was the third player taken in the 2021 NFL draft.

In the wake of the deal, Dianna Russini of The Athletic said that the Baltimore Ravens, the Buffalo Bills, and the Detroit Lions "had conversations" about a deal for the dual-threat quarterback.

Lance's agility might have been a good fit for the Ravens, considering how well their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson, uses his legs to tear through defenses.

Yet, DeCosta's blunt response to the trade reports shows that the Ravens are very happy with the situation behind Jackson, where Tyler Huntley is the obvious QB2.
