Chase Young has been signed by the New Orleans Saints. A good thing, says veteran Cameron Jordan. “I think Chase Young is going to be a big help to our defense,” Jordan said Friday night on “NFL Total Access.”

“We already have Carl Granderson, who has been outstanding the last couple years. I think he’s going to grow on the opposite side when he’s physically fit. He’ll be another building block we can add,” the 35-year-old continued.

The signing could also mean changes for Jordan: “At some point, I think I’ll see Chase and Carl Granderson on the field at the same time on a crucial third down, and I’ll probably have to move to center.”

A development the pass rusher is happy to accept. “Whatever it takes, I’ll line up. I think that’s another weapon for our defense. “

Young wasn’t the only investment made by Saints officials. With the contract extensions of linebacker Demario Davis and safety Tyrann Mathieu, two pillars were retained.

Young was selected second overall in the 2020 draft by the Washington Commanders. The defensive end spent three and a half years quarterback hunting for the Commanders. In the middle of last season, they traded him to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round pick.

Young’s contract expired after the season. The 25-year-old joined the Saints as a free agent.
