Would they have traded a 2 AND given the contract to him the Bears did? I'm guessing no.49ers should have went after Sweat instead

IDK, I have no idea what they paid him, just saying in hindsight it would have been a much more productive move.Would they have traded a 2 AND given the contract to him the Bears did? I'm guessing no.49ers should have went after Sweat instead

They signed him to a 4 year $98M extension. And also paid what looks a top 40 pick.IDK, I have no idea what they paid him, just saying in hindsight it would have been a much more productive move.Would they have traded a 2 AND given the contract to him the Bears did?

So to beat that you guys would have had to give up our 2024 1st or like the 2nd and 3rd.
Like I said, I'm betting you guys wouldn't have done that.
But ya know, John could have called me, I would have told him Chase Young is a turd.

It doesn't matter, we have Young for one more game, hopefully he can get a sack or TFL or something.

Sweat obviously wasn’t an option. Young was a dime store rental. A cheap lotto ticket with a big prize. Sadly it was a losing ticket. Wasn’t a make or break move. I liked that they rolled the dice and took the chance, wasn’t much to lose. They’ve punted much more than the 95th pick in the last couple of years.

Or just show up and put in some effort. Sadly that’s where I’ve landed on him at this juncture.Yeah, Sweat wasn't an option then.They signed him to a 4 year $98M extension.

Does this domino fall today? Example A of how not to get a great second contract.

Panthers will give him $100M. Book it.

1 year $13M. I guess it's low risk for NO. Having watched his effort level since coming to the NFL, I wouldn't have paid him a dime. Some guys bring it every play. Some every game. Some 2-3 games a season. The latter is Chase

His effort is a joke. Has been for years. I have no idea what the Saints are seeing here. No motor and easily stood up. Bad combo.
SF signed a better player in Floyd for less. Weird.

Rookie of the Year in 2020
Injuries take their tolls in '21 and '22
Then he is traded last year and finishes in San Fran, numbers from '23 similar to his 2020 Rookie numbers.
Assuming he can get better, he's only 24, soon to be 25, still young and perhaps can be coached up more into the 10-12 sacks per year range.
Probably a good gamble for the Saints and will need a strong pass rush to deal with a new QB in Atlanta. Carolina has brought in reinforcements along the OL
Bucs are bringing Baker back and strengthening their OL, not a bad idea to sign a potential impact Edge player.

And now Chase Young needs a "neck procedure" and won't be ready for the beginning of training camp.

Albert Breer on Chase Young:
Some background on Saints DE Chase Young's deal: Scans on his neck made it tough to find a suitor. No one would clear him on his physical. The condition was initially found after he had a stinger last year vs. the Browns in preseason.
He'll have neck surgery tomorrow.
The idea in doing the 1-year deal with the Saints, with $5.01 million guaranteed, and $7.99 million in per-game rosters, was to allow for Young to get locked in with a team, go through the 3-5 month rehab from surgery, and have a chance to make the money back.
And with the per-game rosters, really, this protects the team and the player—it's 100% based on his ability to get cleared to play. The neck condition was a factor, too, in his trade market back in October. The Bears weren't comfortable with the scans. The Niners were.

Which team is going to lose this game of musical chairs on a big contract?
Here comes the late season push.
Here comes the late season push.
Young has been pretty good all season. Its one of the few positives Dennis Allen had.

Just a handful of sacks. Pressure rate is great. How has he been against the run?
Sacks are a highly overrated stat to me, they are like rushing TDs for RBs, where its more about the overall team than the player.
Young has been pretty bad against the run (as per usual) but is PFF's #2 Edge in coverage.
He's never really lived up to the #2 overall hype (which I argued was a reach at the time) but its unfair to think of him as a true bust. He's been a decent starter through most of his career.
