Trey Lance is already gone from Dallas in the latest trade deadline speculation.
Fans will rarely hear a bad or inaccurate take (if ever) from former San Francisco cornerback Richard Sherman.
The now-Thursday Night Football analyst and part-time cohost of The Undisputed had an enjoyable Twitter dialogue going on during Sunday night’s game between the 49ers and Cowboys, and that alone is worth checking out.
But, in light of all the talk about Lance giving tips about the Niners to his new team, Sherman’s take was about as spot on as could possibly be:

This isn’t unlike what head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters prior to Sunday’s game when he was asked about Lance and the reports of him passing along intel.
“You can see the plays on tape,” Shanahan said. “You can explain what we look at and stuff like that, which usually you can when you can stack up a lot of tape over years, and we’ve been here for a while and previous. So hopefully he’s talking to him all the time and making them focus totally on that instead of the simple stuff of watching the tape.”
Turns out (and the box score justifies it), both Sherman and Shanahan were right.
Nothing against Lance, of course. He has no reason or obligatto stay quiet about anything 49ers-related.
But, whatever it was he told the Cowboys, it didn’t do them any good.
