If the writing wasn't already on the wall about Chase Young's future with the San Francisco 49ers, it should be now.

Young remains on the open market after a spell with the 49ers in which he struggled to live up to the hype having been traded to San Francisco at the deadline last season by the Washington Commanders.

And the odds of him landing back with the 49ers for another run appear increasingly slim.

San Francisco has already agreed to deals with two players at Young's defensive end position, bringing in Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos to provide the pass-rushing boost he did not consistently produce.

Young, meanwhile, reportedly has visits scheduled with the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans. 

As such, all signs point to Young heading to pastures new after a stint with the Niners that, while it was often underwhelming, almost ended with a Super Bowl victory.

Young only managed 2.5 sacks for the Niners in the regular season and was criticized for his play in much of the postseason, particularly against the run. 

However, he was impressive in the overtime Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, recording four pressures, including a sack of Mahomes in the first quarter.

That display does not look to have been enough to convince the Niners, however, with San Francisco clearly going in a different direction up front after a deadline day swing that didn't quite produce the dividends they anticipated.
