The Commanders, with a couple of moves that indicate new owner Josh Harris has big changes in mind, let Chase Young go for a third-round 2024 draft choice after dealing fellow defensive end Montez Sweat -- who was also in the last year of his contract -- to the Chicago Bears for a second-rounder.
Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young warms up before an NFL football game against the New York Giants on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, in East Rutherford, N.J. It was September 2021, and Chase Young was on top of the world, talking to a local reporter about how exhilarating it was to show off his collection of luxury watches in an ad campaign for eBay.
He was a star in a black hole of a franchise. And then, like so many others before him, Young disappeared into that black hole, like he disappeared when his coaches needed him to show up for voluntary workouts with the rest of his teammates. Young was supposed to be an impact player, and it appeared that he was heading that way after a promising first season with 7½ sacks, 12 quarterback hits and 44 tackles in 15 games. But the key word here is “promising” — likely not worthy of the attention he drew in that off-season.
But football has to come before the glory. Football is the glory. It is the reason that Under Armour and Beats want you. When your choice may be between a photoshoot and a voluntary practice — and you are the team captain — there is no choice. You show up on the field with your teammates. When Rivera selected Young, who grew up locally and played high school football at DeMatha, as captain, he clearly expected one of his team leaders to be there when he needed him. I know the workouts are voluntary, but nearly every player shows up, and if you are a captain, your presence is even more important.
