Super Bowl Contender Hopes To Sign Second-Overall Pick In Free Agency

Chase Young, a free agent edge defender, had a very turbulent 2024 campaign. Ultimately, the previous second-overall pick in 2023

was able to maintain his health after missing nearly two seasons due to injuries. The Ohio State product began the season with the

Washington Commanders, recording five sacks in seven games. However, Washington chose to send him to the San Francisco 49ers

during the trade deadline. Despite playing in nine regular season games, he only managed 2.5 sacks in his new environment. Young

performed admirably in the Super Bowl despite displaying a noticeable lack of effort on a few plays during San Francisco’s playoff

run.Chase Young has had a difficult time in San Francisco, but the 49ers are allegedly interested in signing him back as a free agent.

According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, who provided this information, the organization is interested in bringing him back at the

appropriate price because they liked what they saw in the trade acquisition.

San Francisco 49ers Want to Re-Sign Free Agent Chase Young

What happens with free agent Chase Young will depend on that previously mentioned correct cost. Most observers thought that Young

was the best pass-rushing prospect since Myles Garrett coming out of the 2020 NFL Draft. Even if he hasn’t lived up to his promise, a

strong season-ending performance would have earned him a substantial salary. Young’s strong play with the 49ers suggests he might

have to settle for a one-year, “prove-it” contract instead of the long-term one that would have been secured by his early-season form.
