Report: 49ers free agent Chase Young to visit multiple teams
SANTA CLARA — Defensive end Chase Young’s audition with the 49ers started hot four months ago, as he and Nick Bosa shared a fumble-forcing sack in a victory in Jacksonville.
Two days into free agency, Young’s market doesn’t seem too hot, and certainly not with the 49ers.
Young is slated to make visits to the Carolina Panthers, the New Orleans Saints and the Tennessee Titans once the league year allows for it Wednesday, the NFL Network reported.
Breaking free from the 49ers would not be a surprise, considering:
— They’ve already agreed to two-year contracts with Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos.
— Young produced 3 1/2 sacks in 12 games once the 49ers acquired him in October from the Washington Commanders, in exchange for a third-round draft pick (No. 100 overall).
— Young’s lack of hustle on a Detroit Lions touchdown run in the NFC Championship Game renewed concerns over his work ethic.
— As much as Bosa said after the season that he hoped Young would return, Bosa does not make personnel calls, even if he’s the NFL’s highest-paid defender.
Young’s free agency visits presumably will inform suitors on how he’s recovered from a 2021 knee injury that sidetracked his career. He won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors after being drafted No. 2. He missed nearly 1 1/2 seasons, and after Washington declined his fifth-year option last April, Young started out last season with five sacks in seven games.
Young did not start for the 49ers until the playoffs, after Clelin Ferrell sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 18; Ferrell agreed Tuesday to a one-year contract with the Commanders, The Athletic reported. Defensive end Randy Gregory is also a free agent, as are defensive tackles Sebastian Joseph-Day and Kevin Givens.
Defensive ends projected on the 49ers’ roster currently are Bosa, Floyd, Gross-Matos, Drake Jackson, Robert Beal Jr., Earnest Brown IV and Raymond Johnson III.
Among the 49ers’ moves they’re expected to announce Wednesday is a two-year extension with special-teams ace George Odum, as reported by NFL Network.

For some businesses, Saturday is the most wonderful day of the year as thousands of Santas visit San Francisco watering holes for Santa Con.
But for others, the festive event is more trouble than it’s worth.
Kevin Sully Sullivan and his wife, Deb, met at the Marina Lounge in the 1980s. Sully then went on to work at the bar for 30 years and just two years ago, took over the business from the prior owners.
“We’ve loved this bar for such a long time and it’s a dream come true to actually have our names in it,” Sully said.
While Sully loves celebrating the holidays and supports Santa Con, he has posted this sign on the door of the Sully’s Marina Lounge, officially making it a Santa-free zone. For him, the extra customers aren’t worth the hassle.
“Some of these bars that encourage it, that participate, they do months of business in one day,” he said. “But many of them have to replace sinks in their restrooms. They get it torn off the wall and toilets that have all kinds of things go wrong.”
On the other hand, Westwood has beefed up its staff and is looking forward to all the Santas coming to town.
“It’s really good,” Kwame Wright said.
“It pumps in a lot of money into the economy,” Westwood said. “Local businesses, we benefit from it as well. So, we’re really happy and we’re excited that we get to host. Santa’s are welcome here.”
Aside from Halloween, Santa Con is one of the biggest events of the year for Westwood. This place normally has long lines to get in on weekends and it’s expecting an even bigger crowd Saturday. Westwood is taking steps to make sure all the Santas behave.
“Security does really hard work, and we have extra security to make sure everybody is safe,” said Wright.
But for those willing to wait until Christmas for a Santa sighting, Sully says his place will be the place to be.
“It actually ends up being a really nice day here because they know it’s a sanctuary haven from the Santa Con,” Sully said.
A large fire burned at a six-story residential building in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District early Friday morning, leaving dozens displaced, officials said.
The fire started at around 3 a.m. at a building on Golden Gate Avenue near Taylor and Market streets, adjacent to the Golden Gate Theatre. The San Francisco Fire Department said the fire started on the top floor and reached three alarms, spreading to the attic and roof of the building. Over 100 firefighters at the scene were able to prevent it from spreading to lower floors and nearby buildings, the department said.
Multiple people were rescued and self-evacuated, and a total of 45 residents were displaced, but there were no injuries, the department said. Two cats were also rescued, one that was treated by medics at the scene and another cared for by Animal Control.
Evacuated residents were provided temporary shelter at the corner of Golden Gate and Jones Street aboard a Muni bus. The Red Cross and other city agencies were called in to assist the displaced residents, the department said.
The fire was contained by 5:30 a.m., and firefighters remained on the scene for several hours. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
