One bright spot amid an otherwise dreary Commanders season has been defensive end Chase Young, who is putting up numbers comparable with his 2020 season, when he was the NFL's defensive rookie of the year.
Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young watches his team take on the Baltimore Ravens at FedEx Field, Landover, Md., August 21, 2023. One bright spot amid an otherwise dreary Commanders season has been defensive end Chase Young, who is putting up numbers comparable with his 2020 season, when he was the NFL’s defensive rookie of the year.
However, if ownership has seen enough to believe they are facing a long-term project, getting draft picks in exchange for one or both pass rushers could help accelerate that rebuild. So far there has been no indication that new owner Josh Harris and his team are meddling in the football operations, and they’ve worked to be hands-off as they learn about the team and evaluate its current personnel.
That, combined with what is traditionally a weak trade market in the NFL, make it likely that Young and Sweat stay put past next week’s deadline, though there’s always the chance Sunday’s result against the Eagles swings momentum one way or another.“We’re trying to play the best football we can, and at the same time grow a football team,” Rivera said Monday. “You know, we’re not going to go around cutting a bunch of people, trading for a whole bunch of people, hiring a whole bunch of people.
“We lost, don’t matter,” Young said in a glum locker room. “I’m just doing my job, man. Just trying to come out with wins.”’s communication that it’s not interested in trading Young or Sweat could also be a play to raise value. With both players on expiring contracts, history says it would be hard to get more than a third-round draft pick for either, an uninspiring haul given that both were first-round selections, and Young was picked at No. 2 overall.
