As he settles into his new environment, the defensive end is determined to make a lasting impact and become more than just a rental player for the team.
Young acknowledged that a strong performance in the second half of the season could significantly impact the size of his next contract.
However, this could pose a challenge for the star-studded 49ers, as they may find it difficult to retain him due to financial constraints.
