49ers declined Young's fifth year option, and given the structure of his rookie deal, only have to pay him $561,000 for the rest of the year.
What a mid-season steal.

For a compensatory 3rd round pick. Yup, take that all day. Young has looked good this year.

Sources: 49ers got Young after asking price drop
The 49ers traded for Chase Young after the Commanders lowered their asking price amid concerns about his medical history, sources told ESPN.
Chase Young trade completed after Commanders lowered asking price, sources say
The 49ers went looking for big names at the NFL trade deadline, checking on the availability of Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson and then-Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat, among others, sources told ESPN.The cost of all three players ultimately turned out to be too high for the 49ers, who thought that they wouldn't be able to make a deal to improve their team with just hours remaining before the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Oct. 31.
The Commanders, however, lowered their asking price for defensive end Chase Young after some teams expressed medical concerns about him, according to sources.
Washington initially was seeking second- and fifth-round draft picks in return for Young, according to sources. But when teams expressed concerns about Young's medicals, the Commanders dropped the price to the 49ers, who wound up sending a compensatory third-round pick to Washington for the former Ohio State star.
The 49ers were pleased with what they saw from Young in practice last week and plan to play him "a lot" Sunday in his Niners debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"He has been rocking," a Niners team official told ESPN.
