In a move that will surely have lasting ramifications on the NFC playoff race, the San Francisco 49ers are pairing Chase Young with Nick Bosa after acquiring the talented pass rusher.
Washington sent a third round pick to San Francisco to add even more talent and depth to an already dominant defense.
Trade II: Washington is dealing DE Chase Young to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round pick, per sources.
On the trade deadline day, Washington now has moved on from Young and Montez Sweat, once viewed as foundational players.

With Young now in the fold, the 49ers can attack the Eagles, Lions, Cowboys and Seahawks with a front four that includes Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Javon Hargrave, and Javon Kinlaw.

You just want to take shots. San Francisco is Super Bowl or bust. They need to compete with the Eagles.
Acquiring Chase Young for a half a season and playoff push for a 3 is such a low risk deal. https://t.co/i3tYu4XUHH— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) October 31, 2023

Sources: Former No. 2 overall pick #Commanders DE Chase Young is being traded to the #49ers. Incredible. Likely a mid-round pick in 2024.

*informecial voice* are you a pass rusher with some talent that hasn’t hit your peak? Considering taking a trip to beautiful San Francisco and meeting with our rehabilitation expert Kris Kocurek. You’ll be feeling like yourself again in no time! https://t.co/0xbtyINjlx

Tough day to be a Commander, or Ron Rivera. The message I get is that the new owner is cleaning house and will reset with draft picks and new management/coaching of his choosing in the offseason.
Whole lotta lame-duck games left to play.— Les Bowen (@LesBowen) October 31, 2023

I was told Washington ownership had a strong hand in deciding to deal both Chase Young and Montez Sweat. Many in the building wanted to keep them because they believe in this team but in the end, its about the future for the Commanders.

Imagine telling your 2019 self that Nick Bosa and Chase Young would be on the same team in the NFL by 2023
