young has 9 QB pressures and 1.5 sacks in two games so far with the 49ers … more importantly he has clearly opened up and unlocked the 49ers pass rush these past couple of games as just this past sunday vs the bucs the 49ers defense had 38 QB pressures with the starting 4 of bosa, hargrave, armstead, & young combining for 30 by themselves and vs the jags the week before the 49ers starting 4 DL had a combined 13 QB pressures

i really hoping if he can play consistently and maybe more importantly stay healthy he shows enough that the 49ers can somehow re-sign young

but don’t know how realistic that is considering they have huge big money contracts with all 3 of their other starting DL in armstead, bosa, and hargrave … the latter two who just signed huge contracts this past offseason for a combined 254 million

armstead is a free agent after 2024 and not sure 49ers not only re-sign but even if they don’t bring him back at 32 years old, because of the 49ers restructuring his contract recently to free up cap space, armstead still would have a 15.5 million cap hit in 2025 for the 49ers

but with ferrell and jackson not living up to the same standard that omenihu and ebukam played at the last few seasons as there is a reason why the 49ers traded for young in the first place on trade deadline day … 49ers really need that viable #2 edge behind bosa and the rest of the DL … young even he nevers lives up to the hype and expectations he had coming out of ohio st in 2020 as the 2nd overall pick i still think he could be a really good edge going forward especially playing on this 49ers defense and defensive line
