49ers land Chase Young in blockbuster trade with Commanders: report

San Francisco's defensive line got even scarier as they look to bounce back in the second half of the season

The San Francisco 49ers have landed a big fish before the NFL trade deadline that will make their defensive line even scarier. 

Washington Commanders edge rusher Chase Young, their No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, is heading to the Niners in exchange for a third-round pick, according to multiple reports. 

The Commanders are clearly resetting, as they unloaded Young's counterpart Montez Sweat to the Chicago Bears earlier on Tuesday.
