Second overall pick in the 2020 draft, Young will receive a salary of $13 million next season with his new team.
Only 24 years old, Young finished last season with the San Francisco 49ers. The Washington Commanders traded him to the Niners last October for a conditional third-round pick.
In 16 games with the 49ers and Commanders, he tied a career high with 7.5 sacks.
Young showed great promise during his first season in the NFL in 2020. He managed 7.5 sacks and was named defensive rookie of the year in the Goodell circuit. He also made his only Pro Bowl.
A serious knee injury suffered in November 2021 limited Young to three games in his third NFL campaign in 2022.
