Chase Young re-signed to a 3-year, $51 million deal

Trust me we all want him in double digit sacks, but I feel the pay is reflective of his production and potential. The top end guys are making over double what young is.
It's a testament to our bad talent acquisition at Edge. Because I want to respond to you by saying, "Yeah, but surely we can roll out a career backup and also give them 740 snaps and get something close to 5 sacks." But looking at our roster, I can't find that player.

We were backed into signing a starting DE in free agency because we can't rely on getting an Edge early in the draft.
