He just didn't get better. He's the same guy he's always been.
Which does NOT make him a bad player. At all. It means he's been a little overpaid (or at least will have been by the time next year's deal is over) and didn't fit the needs of the team as well as I hoped he would.
It's been a B-/C+ deal. There are worse teams signed by NFL teams every season. There are guys who simply don't make the field and the team falls apart around them.
I mean you compare it to, say, the Omenihu deal that nobody really complains about. He got $16 million and didn't really contribute to the 2023 championship run after getting hurt in the playoffs. He wasn't as impactful this year as he was at his best last year and we didn't go as far with him in the lineup than we did without him in the lineup last season.
At $16 million for 8 sacks over 17 games that deal ended up being....eh. B-/C+.

Browsing around some stuff today...I just don't see how Chase Young isn't your ideal guy to drop into this defense. They don't like speed guys, he's not just a speed guy. They don't like older players, he's 26.
Just makes too much sense to me.
