NFL rumors: 3 teams that need to trade for Chase Young before it’s too late

Pete Carroll has a way to get the most out of Seattle Seahawks defensive players

One place where I know Young would be invigorated going to in a potential trade would have to be the Seattle Seahawks. For as long as Pete Carroll and John Schneider are calling the shots, this team will be well-constructed with a focus on defensive excellence. Carroll may specialize in coaching up defensive backs, but his team could really use an edge rusher, someone like a Young.

One advantage that Seattle has over teams like the Bears and the Commanders is that the Seahawks are probably a playoff team in the NFC. While I don’t know if they have enough to surpass the rival San Francisco 49ers in division, it wouldn’t shock me to see them make the seven-team postseason field as a Wild Card team once again. It is all about getting in for Seattle.

The other factor that makes Seattle such a great landing spot for Young is that the franchise is geographically isolated in the Pacific Northwest. He may have starred at Ohio State, but Young was a local high school product in The DMV. The pressure one faces playing for their hometown team can be insurmountable. Going to a place far away where it is all about football is a huge plus.

Don’t be shocked if Young made a play or two in a big game of significance if he went to Seattle.

Here’s what that trade could look like.
