I also think it's important to bet on this guy for the long-term (Look at Hunter's post-fusion stats). I'm not necessarily as concerned with this season as having him in the program and getting him re-signed for 2025 and beyond personally.

I mean agree with this but the problem is he signed a one year deal with no guarantee hes resigning with the Saints. Its not really a long term investment then. You basically signed him to give production in 2024.

I get that. I just figure he’d likely stick with us because we bet on him, and the fact that we will have room for him to sign an extended deal coming up in the next couple years when Cam retires

I don't think anyone was counting on Young to come in and blow it up for the Saints. We're all hopeful but his recent history and now the surgery mean he was a lottery ticket as some other have perfectly stated it. The true details of his contract mean the Saints will pay peanuts for him of he's not actually on the game day roster for whatever reason.

IMO, this season is a let's figure out what we have with Foskey, Turner and now Young. Young in theory being the decided most capable of producing if history is any indication. Could be that none of them warrant resigning after this season and If Young blows it up and we can't afford to keep him going forward then he will have had an monster season for us and we should be winning a lot of games.

Also don't rule out add another edge rusher early in this draft.
