The New Orleans Saints signed Chase Young to a three year $51 million extension this offseason, speaking debate among the fan base about whether his contract was justified due to his production in 2024. The primary concern wasn’t his ability to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but rather his inconsistency converting those pressure into sacks.
Despite missing the first five games due to a calf injury, Young is on pace to set a career high in sacks. He currently has seven and needs just one more over the next two weeks to surpass his previous high.
