The San Francisco 49ers made one of the splashes at the trade deadline, acquiring defensive end Chase Young from the Washington Commanders in exchange for a 2024 third-round compensatory selection.
Young, 24, has compiled five sacks in 2023, while posting career highs in areas such as pass-rush win rate in a contract year for the defensive end.
While the 49ers didn’t trade much in regards to value for Young, that doesn’t mean there weren’t other suitors for the defensive end’s services.
In fact, Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reported on Wednesday that two other teams were interested in Young at the deadline: the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
