Charles Omenihu - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Productive on one-year deal Omenihu finished the 2025 season with 28 tackles (15 solo), including 3.5 sacks, over 17 games.

Impact Omenihu signed a one-year deal to stay in Kansas City, a decision that resulted in an increase in production that will be useful in negotiating his next contract. As a rotational defensive end behind starters George Karlaftis and Mike Danna, he logged 2.0 more sacks than in 2024 and 22 more tackles. He did so while playing the same number of games as he had in the past two seasons combined, proving that the 28-year-old still has the durability to survive an NFL season. Omenihu will enter the 2026 season as a free agent, and it is unclear if he will seek another contract with Kansas City or if he will take his talents elsewhere.

Impact Omenihu started the 2024 regular season on the PUP list while rehabbing from a torn ACL that he suffered in the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens during the 2023 campaign. He returned for Week 13 against the Raiders and was able to play in nine of the Chiefs' final 10 games of the season (including playoffs). Omenihu enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and will look to sign with a team in need of depth on the defensive line.
