Commanders Sign Oweh to $100M Deal, Risky Move?

Published 1 month ago
Description

The Washington Commanders made a significant move in free agency by signing edge rusher Odafe Oweh to a four-year, $100 million deal with $68 million guaranteed. The team aims to fix their weak pass rush with the 27-year-old Penn State product, who broke out in the second half of the 2021 season after being traded to the Los Angeles Chargers. Oweh had zero sacks in his first five games but managed to record seven and a half over the final twelve, plus three more in the playoffs. While some, like NFL insider Ralph Vacchiano, see this as a risky move due to Owehs lack of proven double-digit sack seasons, others believe his youth and athleticism will thrive in coordinator Daronte Joness system. The Commanders GM, Adam Peters, has been proactive in revamping the defense, and if Oweh can build on his late surge, this investment could spark the teams much-needed turnaround.
