"OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens are shaking up their struggling defense by trading slumping pass rusher Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday in exchange for safety Alohi Gilman and a fifth-round pick in 2026, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Oweh, 26, has gone from recording a career-high 10 sacks last season to not producing a sack in his first five games this season."
"The Ravens free up around $8 million in cap space by parting ways with Oweh, who will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. Baltimore now may need to make a move to bolster its pass rush considering its top remaining outside linebackers are Kyle Van Noy, Tavius Robinson, rookie second-round pick Mike Green and David Ojabo. Baltimore added two safeties on Tuesday in Gilman and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a free agent who was signed to the practice squad."
Baltimore traded pass rusher Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for safety Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-round pick. Oweh had a career-high 10 sacks last season but produced none in his first five games this season and saw his snap share fall to a career-low 45%. The trade creates about $8 million in cap space and leaves questions about the pass rush depth. The Ravens added safeties Alohi Gilman and C.J. Gardner-Johnson to bolster a secondary that ranks last in points allowed and 31st in pass defense. Pro Bowl safety Kyle Hamilton was sidelined with a groin injury, prompting an undrafted rookie to start.
