"Odafe Oweh is an ascending star, and the Commanders got him at exactly the right time. One of the Commanders' biggest free agency needs was on the defensive edge. They rolled with Dorance Armstrong Jr. and Deatrich Wise Jr. to begin last season, but both of them got hurt, leaving Washington with Jacob Martin, Von Miller, and an aging Preston Smith."
"He is a four-year pro whose rookie deal just expired, and was on the open market for the first time. With any luck, the four seasons he'll spend in Washington will take Oweh through the prime of his career. Commanders fans have been begging Peters to sign a player like Oweh for three years."
"The No. 31 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens is heading back to the Beltway, after his brief stint with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025. He's amassed 17.5 sacks in the past two seasons, despite only starting 14 of 34 games."
The Washington Commanders secured edge rusher Odafe Oweh during the NFL's legal tampering period, signing him to a $100 million deal with $68 million guaranteed. Oweh, the 31st overall pick in 2021, recorded 17.5 sacks over the past two seasons despite starting only 14 of 34 games. He becomes the highest-paid player on Washington's 2026 roster and represents the largest free agent contract general manager Adam Peters has awarded. The Commanders addressed a critical defensive edge need, as previous starters Dorance Armstrong Jr. and Deatrich Wise Jr. suffered injuries. Oweh enters his prime years and provides the defensive upgrade the team required.
