They still don’t have a team name, but Washington now officially has Chase Young!
The NFL franchise has finally signed the former Ohio State superstar — the #2 overall pick in the draft — to a fat new contract … and yeah, he looks super happy!
4 years, $34.56 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport … with a $22.7 million signing bonus (he gets the signing bonus money all up front).
So yeah, you’d probably be smiling too!
The 21-year-old is expected to have an immediate impact with the team after dominating in college.
He recorded 16.5 sacks in 2019 — breaking the OSU single-season record — despite the fact he was suspended for 2 games!
Of course, the suspension was a big deal in itself — officials say Young took an unauthorized loan from a family friend to help his girlfriend travel to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl game. He eventually repaid the loan in full.
Now, he doesn’t have to worry about money anymore — YOU’RE RICH!
Congrats!
