Chargers acquire Ravens linebacker Odafe Oweh in exchange for safety Alohi Gilman

"The deal also involved a pick swap, with the Ravens getting a fifth-round selection next year, and the Chargers getting a seventh in 2027. The Chargers had one sack Sunday in a 27-10 loss to Washington, and this move bolsters an edge rush that is missing Khalil Mack, whose return timeline from a dislocated elbow remains uncertain. The production of outside linebackers Bud Dupree and Caleb Murphy has been underwhelming opposite Tuli Tuipulotu, who had four sacks against the New York Giants."

"Gilman started all five games for the Chargers this season with 22 tackles and three passes defensed. This is his sixth season, all with the Chargers, and for his career has five interceptions and 21 passes defensed. Gilman played at Notre Dame but began his college career at Navy, so returning to Maryland is a homecoming. Safety is one of the few areas where the Chargers are flush with healthy players."

Chargers acquired Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Odafe Oweh in exchange for safety Alohi Gilman plus a swap of a fifth-round pick next year for a seventh in 2027. Oweh, a 2021 first-round pick, had a career-high 10 sacks last season but had none through Baltimore's 1-4 start this year. The Ravens sought secondary help with safety Kyle Hamilton recovering from a groin injury. The Chargers added pass-rush depth while they await Khalil Mack's uncertain return from a dislocated elbow and address underwhelming production from Bud Dupree and Caleb Murphy opposite Tuli Tuipulotu.
