The rumor mill is buzzing, and Chase Young is the topic. The word around the street is the San Francisco 49ers defensive end Chase Young has plans to close in on a deal with the New Orleans Saints. The deal is said to be a duration of one year worth $13 million and is fully guaranteed. The Saints are in need of pass-rushing help, and Chase Young would be a very interesting option for them as they’re in their search.
The New Orleans Saints Seeking a Savior
The Saints have been in the market looking for a new pass-rusher since the fall. Despite their urgent search, the Saints did not try to acquire anyone to bridge the gap at the trade deadline last year. They haven’t begun making any significant moves until now. The Saints have invested high draft picks in pass-rushers. In the second round of the 2023 draft, Isaiah Foskey was one of the rushers added to the New Orleans Saints roster but couldn’t even successfully achieve one sack last year. The New Orleans Saints are in dire need of upgrading their pass rush after sacking opposing quarterbacks.
Chase Young Started in Command But Needs a Brand New Plan
Chase Young was traded from the Washington Commanders to the San Francisco 49ers during the 2023 season. The Commanders used their number two overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft to get Young on the team. He was traded to the 49ers after suffering a highly disappointing run with the Washington Commanders. Upon arrival in San Francisco, Young took on a major role as a part of the Niners’ rush packages. The time Young spent in San Francisco with the 49ers was sullied when he allowed plays to get away from him. The San Francisco 49ers obtained Chase Young at the trade deadline.
Now, for the second time within the last five months, Chase Young is packing his bags yet again for a new place to call home in the NFL. Although he previously wasn’t able to meet the sky-high expectations set for him. The New Orleans Saints are giving him a fresh start. Since he is moving to a new team, he will have to come up with a new game plan as he will again need to prove himself. With another chance to show the NFL his gifts, Young needs to maintain his composure for the entire 2024 season.
