Saints questionable offseason move looking smarter after Rams joint practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers v New Orleans Saints | Derick E. Hingle/GettyImagesThe New Orleans Saints made the bold choice to give Chase Young a nice-sized contract this offseason. Seeing that the Saints had limited funds, many Saints fans didn't feel that was the smartest move to make. So far, it looks like Young is going make good on the organizations belief.
Not only did the Saints not have a lot of money, Young also didn't rack up a lot of sacks. His 5.5 sacks left a lot to be desired. The Saints signed Young to a contract that gives him $17 million annually over the next three seasons. It's not top edge rusher money, but it feels like a contract for a player who can hit double digit sacks.
