The Commanders are trading defensive end Chase Young to the 49ers for a third-round draft pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The move cuts ties with their most productive pass rusher this season and signaled a change in direction for the franchise.
Young has five sacks in seven games after he missed the opener with a neck injury. Overall, in 34 games over his four seasons with Washington, Young had 14 sacks, 90 tackles and 6 forced fumbles .in each of the past two offseasons, and the high-priced line did not result in productive play by the defense.
Washington does rank sixth in the league with 25 sacks but the Commanders are 23rd in pass rush win rate. Among defensive linemen, Young ranks fifth in this area -- but none of his linemates are in the top 55.in part because the franchise had drafted Dwayne Haskins the previous year in the first round. Though coach Ron Rivera was hired in January 2020, the staff knew then-owner Dan Snyder was the one who wanted to draft Haskins.
