Trade: [SF/WSH] Chase Young for 2024 3rd round pick

[EpochLink]

That's the thing. Doesn't matter what your draft position is once you are set to hit free agency. It's about value for your contract. They didn't feel he was worth a long term contract and thus moved on. No Dead cap for 2024 as his contract expires, same as Sweat, thus Washington will be in position to add players in the off-season, thus they would not have gotten compensatory picks in return if they go and spend on free agents this summer.

The fact that Sweat went for a second rounder while Young went for a 3rd tells you what other teams think about Young now. Young probably will end up with a shorter term deal in free agency. Not a 5 year $100 mill contract. More like a 2 year pact for $30 odd mill or something.

Straight up Jadaveon Clowney contract.

If Bears were going to trade for a DE it should have been this deal

Ugh

NFL, more free agents and more chances to improve your roster quickly. Quality is limited in the NHL. Thus players typically return more in trade.

Thus fewer trades in the NFL. NFL, big value trades for non QBs, such as Mack, J. Adams, Fitzpatrick, Ramsey (to LAR), Devantae Adams, AJ Brown, etc. that garner a 1st and more are a combination of age, contract, and production.
Mack coming off his 4 year rookie deal, needed a big new contract but was elite. Adams, Fitzpatrick, Ramsey, still had a year left on their rookie deal, so team got the benefit of a low cap hit for a year, maybe more. Adams, 3rd contract, but elite. AJ Brown, wanted a new deal and got one.

All of the players dealt at TDL were either free agents to be or had no more guaranteed money, thus the acquiring team could always cut them in the off-season for no dead cap hit. Young was the 2OA pick, but needs a new contract this off-season. Same as Sweat. Tagging a DE is over $20 mill cap charge.

The cap and the draft are also different in the NFL compared to the NHL. Nfl, you can get value in the lower rounds; it is essential to draft well. NHL, it's a prayer.

Cap hits are also different. The most valuable players in their prime are also impossible to move.

Straight up Jadaveon Clowney contract.

And Young's cap hit for the balance of the season was way lower as Sweat was on the 5th year option at over $11 mill. Young's base was $5 mill.

Valuable players, you are paying big money to plus harder to move off due to the dead cap since the team that pays the money incurs the cap charge, so if you deal a player after 1 year of signing them you have like 4 years of the signing bonus to eat. That cap charge doesn’t travel with the player to the acquiring team.

The team selling the player has decided they don't want to pay the big bucks and need to get value before losing the player for free. As such, the buyer is only concerned if other buyers outbid them.

The new team may not keep the player because the player could leave.

Thanks.

It’s just still taking time to getting used to this.

& sounds like a no brainer for SF.


They got him for compensation pick and if he walks they get another 3rd round compensation pick.

& Young gives them more room to flex their contending window potentially. Plenty of people are saying how short the window SF has but is it true?
Outside of Trent all their game breakers are well in their primes

With the way they can rotate QB’s I don’t see them going away anytime soon
