Chase Young “excited” to join 49ers winning culture

The San Francisco 49ers remained active at the trade deadline, acquiring defensive end Chase Young for 2024 third-round compensatory pick from the Washington Commanders last week.

Young, 24, has five sacks on the season, and has posted career highs in areas like pass-rush win rate in 2023, looking to reach his pre-injury form.

While the defensive end is on an expiring deal and will likely command a fairly high salary on the open market in 2024, the 49ers didn’t pay much for Young’s services, and will look to integrate him into the team this week ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
