Defensive end Charles Omenihu will get another opportunity in Kansas City. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Omenihu is re-signing with the Chiefs on a one-year deal that will be worth up to $7MM.
Omenihu began his NFL career as a fifth-round pick out of Texas in 2019. In his first two seasons with the Texans, Omenihu played a key role as a rotational pass rusher. With five starts in 29 games, Omenihu logged seven total sacks, seven tackles for loss, 21 quarterback hits, four passes defensed, and two forced fumbles.
In his third season with the team, Omenihu started the first two games of the season before being relegated coming off the bench. Eight weeks into the season, though, Omenihu found himself being traded to the 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round pick. He saw a minimal role in San Francisco the remainder of that year but showed up for his contract year the following season.
In 2022, Omenihu played in every game of the season for the first time in his career, making three starts. He recorded a then-career-high 4.5 sacks and 20 total tackles while matching his previous high of 16 quarterback hits.
