How the rich got richer: the San Fransisco 49ers trade a third-round pick to the Washington Commanders for defensive end Chase Young.

The San Francisco 49ers made a big splash at the NFL trade deadline by acquiring defensive end Chase Young from the Washington Commanders, showing their commitment to winning a Super Bowl.
The 49ers' defense has struggled recently, with opponents gaining a high number of total yards and quarterbacks completing a high percentage of passes. Young's impressive statistics and impact in pressuring quarterbacks should help address this issue.
The addition of Young adds to the 49ers' already formidable pass rush, with a lineup featuring Young, Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Javon Hargrave. This should reignite the team's top-flight defense and put fear into opposing quarterbacks.
