Trade deadline approaching...

I'm torn on the Young deal.

On one hand, he's never shown the ability to be a gamechanger. I felt like he was progressing well coming off that knee injury though and I was optimistic about his future. Maybe not 15-20 sacks optimistic but he is talented no doubt.

Time will tell if we got fleeced by the 49ers yet again, but if they can maximize his potential they will be 2-2 in fleecing us on trades. Only way we win the deal is if he stays injured or just becomes a solid yet unspectacular end for them.

On its' face trading him after trading Sweat looks dumb. We had enough room to sign at least one of them this offseason and trying to become the first team to win without quality edge rushers is a bad look. I think JSW and Toohill are solid (Toohill has potential) but until we see how they react to the increased playing time they are unknowns.

If this coaching staff/front office would be staying around or if the defense was playing to its potential, the Chase trade would not make sense. But the defense is not playing well, and we all know there's going to be a total clean house at the end of the season (or sooner).

Here is one quote from a fan that I happen to agree with:

Chase was freelancing and honestly made the line worse by playing greedy and trying to pad his own numbers. It became very obvious the decline of the line started when he returned.

I still think our DC is a bigger issue than Chase freelancing, but it was obvious at times he was doing his own thing or not listening to coaching.

I guess my thoughts on it are I would prefer to get his productivity for the rest of the year and the third round pick when he walks away. A third round pick is hard to get excited about. Odds are that player we draft will play less than 3 seasons in the nfl. Hardly a rebuild piece

Also gotta factor in we got a 2024 3rd rounder - comp pick sure but 2024 pick nonetheless. If Chase walks in FA there would have to be conditions met - like not signing anybody to big FA contract plus it would be a 2025 3rd rounder if he picked up a big deal. With this we get an immediate pick which can help re-tool next year.
