Wouldn't the Bears prefer just to have him on the fifth year option though? Even if they draft two edge players with their first four picks there's still a pretty good chance the Bears would want Chase Young back on that seventeen million dollar fifth year figure since they have so much cap space anyways. Its not like extensions for Cole Kmet or Jaylon Johnson are going to set them that far back.
I don't know. My read is they are keeping him, even if it seems like they aren't committing in a way any sort of movement regarding his situation by Washington signals they have a plan for him.
I don't know if I would take Chase Young straight up instead of a 2024 first and 2023 second for ninth overall, but I think Young + 2024 third would be more than adequate. Would love to see him in Chicago.
