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 have found that Granderson's contract last year was for a avg of $13M per year. Just what Youngs deal for 1 year is worth. That tells me that Loomis views them the same in value.

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say what Loomis is considering is that while Young has had issues, he still has an absurdly high ceiling and he's taking on a bit more risk than usual, but he's performed well on the field enough to know that Chase is more than capable of playing at a level at twice that salary. I'm not so sure he views Granderson in that same vein. They're two different scenarios.
