Quick Glance: Chase Young signs with Saints: Former No. 2 overall pick secures one-year, fully-guaranteed $13 million deal
- The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a one-year, fully-guaranteed $13 million deal with Chase Young, one of the top remaining free agents who previously played for the San Francisco 49ers as a former No. 2 overall pick.
