Chase Young, a defensive lineman with the Washington Commanders, had an outstanding debut season. Young destroyed more seasoned offensive lineman, recording 7.5 sacks, and taking home the Defensive Rookie of the Year title from the Associated Press. The Commanders turned down Young's fifth-year option two seasons later.
There were doubts over the team's decision to grant Young a fifth-year option. Young's career began well, but in Week 10 of the team's 2021 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he tore the ACL in his right knee. He only participated in three games in the 2022 NFL season and missed the remainder of the 2021 NFL season.
Since his rookie year, Young has just 1.5 sacks in 12 total games.
Is Chase Young's time with the Commanders coming to an end?
Young's employment with the Commanders is not necessarily over as a result of the change. The rookie deal for Young, 24, still has one season to run. Young might still land a sizable deal with Washington if he performs well in the 2023 NFL season.
There is some precedence for the Commanders compensating players in the middle of a contract year, even if the circumstances are not quite the same.
But given that the organization turned down Young's fifth-year option, he would really need to perform well to convince the team he merits another season. Young could be better to enter the free-agent market if he continues to play at this caliber.
The Commanders could have to compete with a few other clubs in the future to retain Young's services if he can regain the form that earned him the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
