The San Francisco 49ers were interested in trading for several defensive players at the NFL trade deadline, including Montez Sweat of the Washington Commanders. However, the Commanders lowered their asking price for Chase Young after concerns about his medicals were raised by other teams. The 49ers ended up trading a compensatory third-round pick to Washington for Young. The 49ers are pleased with Young's performance in practice and plan to play him extensively in his debut game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Young will be reunited with his former Ohio State teammate Nick Bosa, making them the first pair of former Defensive Rookies of the Year to be teammates in the NFL. Despite already having a talented defensive line, the 49ers felt that the opportunity to acquire Young was too good to pass up.
