If the Washington Commanders don't exercise Chase Young's fifth-year option they could trade him and extend Montez Sweat. What that would look like, and a new owner candidate enters the scene.

The Washington Commanders have a tough decision to make following defensive tackle Daron Payne's extension involving defensive ends Montez Sweat and Chase Young, and it starts with the latter's fifth-year option that has to be picked up or declined by May 1st.

If the Commanders decline it, it's possible Young joins the ranks of just a few top-five overall NFL Draft picks that end up traded before their rookie deal has expired.

Today, we dive into what that could look like with the Los Angeles Chargers as a trade partner, and even run through a mock draft involving even more draft weekend picks to see what kind of rookie class we can orchestrate.

Then, Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos is reportedly entering the race to be the next owner of the Washington Commanders.
