"[Odafe] Oweh had just 13 sacks over the first three seasons of his career combined. He has never been much of a factor against the run-he has hit the 40-tackle mark just once. His 47 pressures and 16.4 percent pass-rush win rate last year per PFF were good, but not great."
"Oweh's average annual salary ranks among the 12 best edge-rushers in the game. His production and talent does not."
"Did the Commanders overpay for Oweh? Probably. Did they desperately need someone like this? Absolutely."
The Washington Commanders signed Odafe Oweh to a four-year, $96 million contract, including a $26 million signing bonus and $68 million guaranteed. This decision follows a lackluster pass rush last season. Critics argue that Oweh's past performance, with only 13 sacks in three seasons, does not justify such a financial commitment. Despite concerns, the Commanders needed to bolster their defense and Oweh was one of the best available options in free agency, reflecting the high costs often associated with acquiring talent.
