The Commanders face a dilemma along the defensive line. The case for declining Chase Young's fifth-year option isn’t just strong. It’s arguably what Washington should do, BenStandig writes.
Edge rusher Montez Sweat is next. For now, the defender with 29 career sacks and 74 QB hits is poised to play out the fifth year of his rookie deal for $11.5 million before becoming a 2024 free agent. He ranks 11th on ’s list of players on expiring contracts. If his option is declined, Young would join his tag-team partner in the 2024 market.
“From an allocation standpoint, it is a challenge to pay that much money to one position group,” salary-cap insider J.I. Halsell said. Washington won’t officially have a new owner by the draft, or the May 2 option deadline.
