re: Saints re-sign Chase Young, 3 years 51 million

I’d rather keep guys like Young. I’d have liked to keep Adebo too.

Without Carr's impact, this would be a great deal for Young.

And I am not counting losing Adebo as a cap casualty to be fair. The injury made him unpalatable financially, not the cap.

What's stupid about it? He is right. Signing Carr hurt us fairly badly.

Jameis was dog shite. He had a terrible knee injury. Signing Carr did not hurt us. Paying Jameis also is what hurt us. Everything else around carr had continued to fall apart. Carr is not the reason we have failed to make the playoffs. All the while trying to win and damn near did win with a coach that everyone agrees is pretty dog shite. You aren't allowed to make up a pretend truth. Quit being fricking drama whininig about damage and muh cap. We're applying today's % player's cost to tomorrow's lesser % borrowing. We're on a curve getting things better. We have added some core pieces to year future's cap space in some of these moves.

Did we make the playoffs under Carr?

Extending Jameis hurt us, but we only had to do that to fit in Carr's salary

Go after a reclamation project type of guy on a very short term deal as a stopgap, similar to say, when Baker first signed with Tampa

I guess we could pray for Trevor Lawrence

It'll be more like a Darnold coming from SF to Minn than a Lawrence I reckon.

Since Justin Fields is off the market...DANIEL JONES, COME ON DOWN

Young was signed to a one-year prove-it deal with the Saints in 2024. The 25-year-old edge rusher outplayed his $13 million contract, ranking top-10 in the league in quarterback pressures and top-five in hurries. Young ended the season with 5.5 sacks and appeared in all 17 games.

---

Chase Young is still only 25 and could be great if Staley has a concrete vision for him. Last year, even with the defensive line struggles, was 7th in pressures and 5th in hurries per @PFF. The potential is there, and Young will be a key piece in this defense.

---

quote:

---

The Saints remained interested in extending Young after hiring defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, who will transform the Saints defense to a 3-4. The former Ohio State Buckeye has the ideal length and size to play in a 3-4 and will help the defense make the transition into the new scheme.

Good signing IMO.

I’ll take it.

You didn't have to sign Carr, this isn't an either/or situation. Signing Carr made absolutely 0 sense for where this roster was headed.

You tried to extend the window hoping surrounding JW with some weapons and a still top end D, it failed. At that point it was time to eat it and being to rebuild. Signing Carr was simply done to give allen the lowest of goals, not to seriously contend.

Yeah and who chose the dog shite coach? Who continually went to bat for him and gave him a 3rd season when it clearly wasn't working and still didn't want to fire him until forced?

and again "almost" making the playoffs in a bad division, in an expanded playoff is not being on the cusp of anything. You weren't mediocre enough in the most mediocre dvision possible, the winner the last 3 years had 7 wins, 9 wins, and 10 wins....For fricksake

Signing Carr year of: This division is so winnable and Carr has never played for a roster this good...TO THE MOON

3 years later: well the roster isn't good, so its not his fault

Then why the frick did we sign him?

This is surprising.
Not saying good or bad… just surprising as he’s not a stellar player anymore.

Oh 100% trading up this year for a QB is suicide

ML does what his HCs ask him to do.DA wanted DC as his QB and got him.
SP had the power of buying the groceries over ML.KM wanted to keep DC
and so they have.KM along with Staley as DC wanted to sign Chase to
new contract so they have.Mickey is a bean counter who defers the football
decisions to the coaches and scouts.If the HC wants a particular player
in the draft and have to trade to get him ML tries to do the deal.
MLs problem is he`s not knowledgeable enough about talent and schemes
and just goes along with what info he gets.If he was alot of these deals
and draft choice's might6 not have been made.SP was horrible at freeagency
and wasted alot of money and cap space.
