Trade deadline day became a transformational day for the Washington Commanders. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the team has reached agreements to trade star defensive ends Montez Sweat and Chase Young.
Sweat will go to the Chicago Bears for a second-round draft selection, likely to be one of the very first picks of the draft’s second day.
Coach Ron Rivera is in his fourth season in Washington but his first under new ownership. Josh Harris, who led the group that purchased the team, will now have five draft picks in the first three rounds next spring, which will undoubtedly be enticing if he decides to hire a new general manager this offseason .
Acquiring Sweat at this time means that if the Bears sign him to an extension, he won’t count against the compensatory draft formula for free agents.
