"This feels like a cardinal sin of free agency: paying a good player like a great player. [Odafe] Oweh benefited from playing in packages with Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu. He can be a capable No. 2 rusher. He is at his best as a high-quality third rusher, as evidenced from this past season. He is not a No. 1 rusher. The Commanders are paying him to be that player."
The Washington Commanders agreed to terms with edge rusher Odafe Oweh in a significant free agency move designed to address defensive needs. Oweh possesses the size, length, and speed the team requires, and new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones plans to maximize his abilities. However, NFL analyst Daniel Popper of The Athletic gave the signing a D+ grade, arguing the Commanders committed a cardinal sin of free agency by paying Oweh as a No. 1 rusher when he functions best as a high-quality second or third option. Oweh benefited from playing alongside elite pass rushers like Khalil Mack. The signing may represent a gamble, though the opportunity in Washington could help Oweh reach another level in his career.
