Do you trust Chase Young after getting a market-value contract extension?

I wouldn't pay him, but only for my own philosophy w/ Passrushers.

A lot of teams are running quick game offenses now. Meaning that edge rusher outside of a handful snaps a game don't have a huge impact from snap to snap. For instance I don't believe our Dline will be as imporant as our secondary vs Dalllas because DAK isn't holding the ball 3+ seconds. There were 6-7 snaps that Myles Garrett really impacted Dak.

What I will say is that I would build a defense outside in. AKA pay secondary players and try to find impactful DT's that can get to the passer from the interior. Then find DE's like young in the Bargain bin, while trying to draft an impact guy.

Having someone like Chase that pushes the pocket back towards the QB & that makes a difference in the game.
You don't always have to get to the QB in order to be a factor in the game.
It is always good for the secondary when you make the QB move around & not get comfortable in the pocket.
When you can line up Granderson, Bresee, & Chase it limits what an offense can do which also greatly helps your secondary.

Chase did this very well against the Panthers.

I'm all for giving him an extension & keeping him in Black & Gold!
