Chase Young re-signed to a 3-year, $51 million deal
Pressures cause QBs to get out of rhythm and throw bad passes, interceptions, and sacks for other players. And with more guys playing in match up and pattern matching zone, we should see more interceptions from bad passes this year. Also, as already mentioned by several people, QBs almost always had space to step up in the pocket or run up the middle against our D last year. The addition of a NT and the gap and a half scheme on the DL should close those lanes for the QB and lead to more sacks.
And, frankly, if he can get to 7 to 8 sacks he will easily be worth his contract and that more or less just requires him to play like he did last year but get more sacks because QBs can't step up. And if he hits double digits, he will be cheap for an Edge rusher. Double digit guys are getting $25 to $40 million.
He probably never reaches his ceiling or maximizes his talent, but he doesn't need to to be worth this contract.
I get that you like guys that work harder and do more with less talent, but this is a guy who even at 3/4 of his talent is a good pass rusher and the best pass rusher on this team. It's not like there are many options out there that can produce at his level and, as our many failed draft picks at Edge have shown, it's a tough position to hit on in the draft for this team. And any Edge they could take at #9 would likely be a reach.
Did those “pressures” lead to anything?
Seriously asking
Plus Golston isn’t the “Kim Kardashian” type player in this equation. You know, the person that too many fawn over, but is mid AF. Golston is the girl next door, that will save you some money and not need to quickly run to the bathroom, to put make up on, as soon as she wakes up.
Y’all keep saying pressures, yet they didn’t amount to anything. Unless, yall like the “almost” type player. Nah, I want the rabid dawg who hunts and doesn’t stop hunting, until it’s got its kill. Guess I just have a different type mentality
