Chase Young Signs $51M Extension with New Orleans Saints

The former Heisman Trophy finalist secures a three-year deal after a strong 2024 NFL season.

Chase Young has signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the New Orleans Saints, which could reach $57 million with incentives.
Young joined the Saints in 2024 on a one-year deal and played all 17 games, recording 5.5 sacks and 46 quarterback pressures, tied for 11th in the NFL.
The 25-year-old defensive end was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2020 but faced injuries that limited him to 12 games across 2021 and 2022.
After a midseason trade to the San Francisco 49ers in 2023, Young helped the team reach Super Bowl LVIII, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Young's new deal solidifies his role in the Saints' defense as the team looks to build under new head coach Kellen Moore.
