"Odafe Oweh was the big splash, signing a four-year, $100 million deal with $68 million guaranteed. The Commanders are also aiming to see if K'Lavon Chaisson's breakout in 2025 can be the start of something more. These additions will help enormously, but Peters was still unsatisfied."
"The 2019 fifth-round pick out of Texas will be able to slot in either as a 3-4 outside linebacker, 4-3 defensive end, 3-4 defensive end, or even a 3-technique defensive tackle in a 4-3 base. Omenihu represents a useful chess piece for Jones' system. And given the money involved, it's a no-brainer."
"Omenihu has the size and length that Washington has coveted throughout free agency. He was a solid if unspectacular performer with the Kansas City Chiefs. Perhaps tellingly, the lineman also spent two years with the San Francisco 49ers during Peters's influential tenure in their front office."
General manager Adam Peters prioritized bolstering the Washington Commanders' pass rush during free agency. The team signed multiple edge defenders to address this need, with Odafe Oweh as the marquee acquisition on a four-year, $100 million deal featuring $68 million guaranteed. The Commanders also retained K'Lavon Chaisson and added Charles Omenihu on a one-year, $4 million contract with incentive potential. Omenihu, who previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, provides versatility across multiple defensive positions. These acquisitions significantly strengthen the defensive front seven under new coordinator Daronte Jones' aggressive and creative scheme.
