Former Chargers defensive end Odafe Oweh has agreed with the Washington Commanders on a four-year, $100 million deal, agents David Mulugheta and Andre Odom of Athletes First told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
The deal includes $68 million guaranteed.
When the Chargers traded with the Baltimore Ravens for Oweh in October, he was a struggling edge rusher with zero sacks through five games, looking like a player who had failed to live up to the potential that made him a first-round pick by Baltimore in 2021.

That quickly changed in Los Angeles, as Oweh finished the regular season with 7.5 sacks in 12 games with the Chargers and then set a franchise playoff record with three sacks and two forced fumbles in the Chargers’ playoff loss to the New England Patriots.
Oweh’s 6-foot-5 frame, combined with his 4.36 40-yard dash speed, has helped him evolve into one of the league’s most promising edge rushers. His 17.5 sacks since 2024 rank 19th in the NFL.
Oweh, 27, had quickly fallen out of favor in Baltimore, playing a career-low 45% of the Ravens’ defensive snaps before he was traded.
He has 30.5 sacks in five seasons.
