Breaking: Former 7.5 Sack Commanders Expected to…

Former Washington Commanders pass rusher Chase Young is a hot name on the free agent market. After being traded to the San Francisco 49ers during the NFL Trade Deadline, Young now has an opportunity to hit the open market for the first time in his career.

Another team in the NFC West could be in play for the former Defensive Rookie of the Year, writes Kyle Andrews of Pro Football Network. According to Andrews, the Seattle Seahawks are a landing spot for Young.

Andrews writes that Mike Macdonald can revive Young’s career, possibly putting him back to the same status he was in with the Commanders in his rookie season.

“It might not be over for Young in the NFC West. He could make the opposite move of former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and leave the 49ers for Seattle. Seattle has two unrestricted free agent defensive linemen — Leonard Williams and Mario Edwards — and has an exclusive rights free agent in Joshua Onujiogu.

Williams had 41 tackles (24 solo) with four sacks in 2023, while Edwards had 21 tackles (15 solo) and two sacks. The Seahawks have $41,610,9909 in cap space. While a different fit, Young could add potency to a pass rush, a skill set that can prove invaluable.

If Macdonald can get Young to produce the way he did with the Commanders before tearing his ACL, an already impressive Seahawks defense would get even better.
