Social media erupts after 49ers' blockbuster Chase Young trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers made the biggest move of the NFL trade deadline Tuesday by adding a star pass rusher.
NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee reported, citing sources, that San Francisco acquired defensive end Chase Young from the Washington Commanders in exchange for a 2024 third-round draft pick. NFL insider Jay Glazer was first to report the news.
Young, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, joins a star-studded defensive line in the Bay that already features reigning Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa, his college teammate for two years at Ohio State.

Nick Bosa, Chase Young, Javon Hargrave, Arik Armstead, Randy Gregory, Clelin Ferrell, Drake Jackson and Javon Kinkaw is a disgusting defensive line room

I’ll give Lynch credit: he goes for it. Trading for Garoppolo. Trading up for the #3 pick. Trading for McCaffrey. And now the Chase Young deal. He doesn’t sit on his pile, he pushes his chips in the middle and goes all-in. Win, lose, or draw on this trade, I respect it. #FTTB

Awesome trade for Chase Young. 49ers d-line not dominating like you would expect. Bosa been good not great. Hargrave has not played to expectation. And they are not getting enough from defensive end opposite of Bosa compared to what they have had in past

Young, the 2020 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, compiled five sacks in seven games for Washington this season. He'll have the 49ers' Week 9 bye to get accommodated to his new home and likely will debut for San Francisco in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
