I have concerns about Byron Young's knee ... same as with Jackson's blood clots; and I am guessing he is not currently a strong candidate for a contract extension but I think he has been a quality all-around-Edge from Day One.

Young has been durable (has not missed a game in three seasons) and productive (27 sacks, including 12 last season ... 12 is Verse's two year total).

As for the obvious decline in Young's play down-the-stretch last year, I give him credit for playing hurt. Sometimes, fans want a guy to play hurt but then are disappointed when he does not play well as well.

Byron Young has had issues with the knee going back to 2023 season. BY only played only 43% of the defensive snaps in the 2025 Championship game against the Seattle Seahawks. This was a notable decrease from his usual snap count.

Still pondering just how MG a true 43 DE is going to work in with this 34 defense. Seen little to no discussions on this very real detail.

Well that's a hell no on interest from a lot of teams :wow2:
Really should be all teams. If he has no power in 1 leg he's useless. Probably time to call it a career. I didn't actually realize just how bad his injury was until the other day. Its an injury very similar to Tank Dells and he's far older then Tank.

Well I did leave out that there are some teams not aren't as nice and would be like fuuuuucckkkk noooooo!!!! :laugh4:

In all seriousness, definitely shows this injury was terrible. Aw well, not our problem.
