Commanders Land Odafe Oweh on Four-Year, $100 Million Deal

Washington bets on Oweh's post-trade surge to lift a lagging pass rush in a booming edge‑rusher market.

Overview

  • The agreement is worth $100 million over four years with $68 million guaranteed at signing, per multiple reports.
  • Oweh's representatives David Mulugheta and Andre Odom of Athletes First negotiated the contract.
  • Washington targeted help off the edge after finishing 24th in pressure rate last season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
  • After an October trade to the Chargers, Oweh produced 7.5 sacks and 37 pressures in 12 games and delivered three sacks with two forced fumbles in the Wild Card round.
  • The Chargers declined to use the franchise tag and re-signed Khalil Mack on a one-year, $18 million deal as Oweh, a 2021 first-round pick with 27 starts in 79 games, drew both upside praise and price skepticism.
