You picking up Chase Young 5th Year Option?

He's still the kind of talent where, if you believe a recovery will happen, he could be worth a 1 plus to you. There will also be teams that wouldn't touch him because of the unknown with the knee.

But it just takes one out of 31 teams and so they'll surely take calls.

I think trading him might be the right move if you can get the right deal.

I agree, I'd trade him for a 1st or 2nd right now.. We can find a solid Edge rusher , lets be real the Eagles and Bengals win every yr with average DE'S

I'll just go ahead and mark Chase Young down as being our franchise tag player in 2024.

But yeah, definitely should look at drafting an edge rusher, even if late in the draft just in case.

Hopefully this is good news for extending Sweat. Maybe they made their choice that Sweat is the better of the two. Otherwise, we are losing 1 of them next year. Can't franchise tag both of them. Also, would be pretty crazy to sign both of them to huge deals after this season.

Gotta say, this is very surprising.

Per Keim, the coaches love Montez Sweat.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I'm not surprised at this move. When Ron took over the team, his 2020 draft was based on whatever information/scouting the previous regime had done. A new coach's first draft is really not theirs, so I can see why there isn't much loyalty.

I wouldn't mind if they trade him tomorrow. It'd be nice to get more picks as always. Especially given how deep this draft is at certain positions.

Trading Chase is best case scenario now imo (assuming a reasonably fair offer). But it takes 2 to tango. Gonna be an interesting next 30ish hours.

I'd take a conditional 2nd with it becoming a 1st based on performance. Bottom line is get anything you can if he's just not your guy for the future.

This would be ideal..

Don't forget, the Dline played well without Young when he was injured. Allen and Payne can make many DEs look good.

Yeah I think this is central to their reasoning. Wonder if we will see JSW get a modest extension this offseason.

Yeah, I'd be 100% OK w/ this too.

I wanted to see him succeed here and become a perennial pro bowler. I can't help feeling now, especially the timing, they want him gone. I doubt we'll see a high 1st, but maybe a conditional 2nd (possibility of it being a 1st) and a 3rd would be very acceptable under the circumstances. And if someone offers a 1st this year I'd bite their hand off.

Best case CY goes out and kills it this year and leaves us no choice but to figure out how to pay him.

Would you trade a First for CY though?
No team will do that on the last year of a contract (Won't even trade a 2d for that matter).
