Saints sign Chase Young to 1-year deal up to 13M (2.7M base, 1.86M signing, 450K workout, 7.99M total gameday roster bonus)

I like that it's a 1 year deal. Get the cap hit over with this year and see if he's worth trying to retain next year.

I don't think the Saints will be taking the entire $13M hit this year. The deal may have 4 void years in it so that most (as much as $11.875M) is listed as a signing bonus that spreads out over 5 years. initially. If I am right the cap charge this year would be $1.125M + $2.375M= $3.5M. This way if they decide to extend him next year they proration stays spread out and if they don't get an extension the team takes a $9.5M hit next year.
