We’re of the belief the New England Patriots should spend the majority of their offseason resources on the offensive side of the ball. But if Jerod Mayo and company are interested in a potential low-risk, high-reward defensive signing, Chase Young might fit the bill.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Young will hit free agency in March after the Washington Commanders declined to pick up his fifth-year option.
Spotrac projected Young’s market value this offseason will be $13 million. Why would a 24-year-old pass rusher with star potential come so cheap?
