The San Francisco 49ers got defensive end
Chase Young for the bargain price of a 2024 compensatory third-round draft pick.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, that price was reportedly higher until some medical concerns scared off other bidders.
The Washington Commanders were initially seeking second- and fifth-round draft picks in exchange for Young.
"The Commanders, however, lowered their asking price for defensive end Chase Young after some teams expressed medical concerns about him, according to sources," Schefter wrote.
The 49ers ended up getting Young ahead of the trade deadline, adding to an already impressive defensive front that includes his former Ohio State teammate,
Nick Bosa. Young is set to make his debut in red and gold against the Jacksonville Jaguars today.
Schefter notes that Young was not the only player the 49ers were targeting as a potential trade option.
"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," Schefter reports.
While the 49ers' interest in Johnson and Sweat was already known, Schefter confirmed their inquiries about Surtain.
Coming off their bye week and losing three consecutive games, the 49ers aim to reverse their fortunes today in Jacksonville.

Nick Bosa confident ahead of 49ers-Eagles matchup, surprised by Chase Young's quick impact
There was significant offseason banter between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles following the NFC Championship Game. While the Eagles came out on top, the 49ers felt they couldn't showcase their true capabilities due to quarterback Brock Purdy's early-game UCL injury in his throwing arm.
The two teams have been on a Week 13 collision course throughout the season, with the possibility of meeting again in the postseason. Sunday's highly anticipated game will showcase two red-hot teams, offering the 49ers a chance to demonstrate what might have been.
"I ain't going to keep going on about what could've happened and what would've happened, but yeah, it would've definitely been a different outcome," remarked 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel during the
Nick Bosa praises Chase Young's early impact on 49ers
On Tuesday, Nick Bosa expressed his surprise at how rapidly pass rusher Chase Young has impacted the San Francisco 49ers' defense since the team traded for him last month. The 49ers' pressure rate has surged, and the defensive front has reached the opposing quarterback more regularly.
Since Young's arrival, Bosa has recorded five sacks, a considerable improvement from the three he had before the trade. Bosa believes his former Ohio State teammate is developing into one of the league's most dominant pass rushers.
"Just watching him on tape, I think he could be like one of the top elite pass rushers in the league. And he's starting to get the hang of the scheme," Bosa

He stated that Armstead was dealing with a foot injury while Dwelley had suffered an ankle injury.
Shanahan provided updates during Monday's conference call, sharing that Dwelley sustained a high-ankle sprain and will miss multiple weeks. Armstead emerged with foot and knee issues.
"We're still gathering more information," Shanahan said of Armstead's situation. "He came in with
Steve Young says 49ers set at QB with Brock Purdy
Are the San Francisco 49ers finally set at QB? Since concussions forced Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young to retire following the 1999 season, the 49ers have been searching for that franchise signal-caller they believe would be the guy to lead the team to a sixth Super Bowl Championship.
Jeff Garcia was the guy tasked with following Young. And while Garcia had a good career with the 49ers, complete with multiple Pro Bowls to his name, he was never considered the one who would lead the team back to the top.
Alex Smith was drafted number one overall in 2005 to be that guy. He never really had much of a chance to show he could be, due mainly to a revolving door at offensive coordinator. Colin Kaepernick looked like he might be the guy when he led the 49ers to the
