The New Orleans Saints are making a move in an attempt to shore up a weakness in their pass rush.

The team is reportedly expected to sign former San Francisco 49ers and Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young to a one-year, $13 million contract, according to NFL Network.

Young, 24, had been one of the top remaining free agents available, ranking No. 4 on USA TODAY Sports' list of the Top 25 remaining free agents, though the No. 2 player on that list, offensive tackle Tyron Smith, reportedly agreed to a deal with the Jets.

Young was the No. 2 overall selection in the 2020 NFL draft. He earned the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award following that season and was also named to his first and only Pro Bowl team. Although he's gifted with size, strength, power and speed, Young's play has remained mostly flat, and he has failed to break out as a star edge rusher, despite his high draft position. ...

Signing Chase Young likely takes Saints out of the running for 2025 comp picks

  • News source: John Sigler

It was fun while it lasted. The New Orleans Saints have enjoyed the benefits of compensatory draft picks in recent years, but signing Chase Young makes it unlikely they’ll see any extra picks in 2025. Few teams have received as many comp picks as the Saints over the last four draft cycles, owing to their losses in free agency:

Remember, comp pics are awarded based on free agents lost against those signed in the previous offseason. And before the Saints signed Young, they were breaking even according to the analysts at Over The Cap who predict comp picks every year. After signing Young...

Chase Young signing with Saints may signal the end of Payton Turner era

Chase Young will be taking someone’s spot in the rotation after the New Orleans Saints signed him to a one-year, $13 million contract on Monday (with every dollar guaranteed once his pen touched paper). The Saints are bringing back all of their major contributors from 2023 at defensive end, but the group performed so poorly that it makes sense for Young to elbow someone aside.

It just might be Payton Turner drawing the short straw. The 2021 first-round pick hasn’t lived up to expectations, and it’s almost a foregone conclusion that the Saints will not pick up his fifth-year option for...

Saints expected to sign former Vikings G/T Oli Udoh to a 1-year deal, per report

The New Orleans Saints are expected to sign former Viking G/T Oli Udoh to a 1-year deal, per report

Udoh started 18 games for the Minnesota Vikings over a 5-year period after being selected in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. In 2021, he started 16 games allowing only one sack that season. This would be the same season where new OC Klint Kubiak spent his lone year calling plays for the Vikings. A little familiarity there.

Saints will likely look to invest more at this spot in the coming weeks and likely early in the draft as well.

Saints guaranteed every dollar of Chase Young's $13 million contract

Whew. This is a big deal. The New Orleans Saints guaranteed every dollar of their $13 million contract with free agent defensive end Chase Young, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed by CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson.

But as is always the case with this team, don’t expect that to mean a simple $13 million salary cap charge on their accounting books. Depending on how this deal is structured, Young’s cap hit for 2024 could be as low as $3.5 million. Here’s how the accounting would look with four “ghost years” set to void at the end of the 2024 league year:

Drew Brees says even retired quarterbacks are relieved by Aaron Donald's retirement

Even retired quarterbacks are happy to see Aaron Donald hanging up his cleats. Or at least that’s how Drew Brees feels. The legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback congratulated his old rival “on an unbelievable career” with the Los Angeles Rams, where Donald spent a decade sacking passers like Brees.

They went head-to-head five times, including the playoffs, with Brees’ Saints winning twice (and the less said of that playoff debacle, the better). Donald sacked Brees twice but hit the quarterback 11 times, including the infamous play that broke Brees’ throwing hand early in the 2019...

DE Chase Young to sign with Saints

According to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, the New Orleans Saints are expected to sign defensive end Chase Young. It’s a one-year deal worth up to $13 million.

Chase Young previously spent the latter half of last season with the 49ers, being traded to San Francisco from the Washington Commanders during the 2023 season. He was the second overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

He’s had an up-and-down career, and that could very well be due to injuries. In 2021, he tore his ACL, and the severity of the injury caused Young to have an extended recovery time. So far in his five-year career...

The New Orleans Saints are closing in on a one-year contract with San Francisco 49ers defensive end Chase Young, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reports the deal is worth up to $13 million, though ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that number is fully guaranteed. We’ll have to wait for clarity, but this is a good low-risk, high-reward option for the Saints.

Young was traded to the 49ers after a disappointing run with the Washington Commanders that saw the former second overall draft pick miss extensive time with injuries. His time in San Francisco was dimmed by effort...

NEW ORLEANS — The Saints are expected to sign defensive end Chase Young, according to National Insider for NFL Network Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport said Young went into free agency wanting a deal to see himself up for the future, and he wanted to play with Cam Jordan.

Young was selected No. 2 in the 2020 NFL draft by the Washington Commanders. He won 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year and spent his four seasons with them before being traded at the deadline to the San Fransico 49ers.

He has 16.5 sacks in his career, but almost half of those came in his rookie year. Chase tore his ACL in 2021...
