The New Orleans Saints are re-signing defensive end Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Young, 25, played all 17 games last season, finishing with 5.5 sacks and 46 pressures, according to TruMedia. His pressures were tied for 11th in the NFL.

Young signed a one-year deal with the Saints worth up to $13 million during the 2024 free agency period. Young's contract had about $8 million tied up in per-game roster bonuses due to an offseason neck procedure he had last spring.

I wouldnt have extended him but if we had to extend someone this is better than extending Adebo, Johnson, Olave, or Penning. At least Young is young, has upside, is not currently hurt, and is good in some metrics. Now we need to cut Jordan with a post june 1 tag if he wont take a pay cut. We dont need 3 expensive DE’s.

Jordan would def be the odd man out. He is on the downside of his career and is not worth half of his price tag.

Does he drop another 10 pounds to help his speed coming off the edge as a 3-4 OLB?

We back from the dead bruh. Only valid argument is whether or not the money was well spent.

Time and health will tell the story.
