The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing defensive end Charles Omenihu to a one-year, $7 million deal, ESPN reported.
Omenihu, 27, tallied one sack in six games (one start) during the 2024 regular season and added one sack and one forced fumble during the Chiefs’ three-game postseason run.
He missed the first 11 games last season while rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered in the AFC Championship Game victory at Baltimore on Jan. 28, 2024.
During his first season with Kansas City in 2023, Omenihu missed the first six games while serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. He was arrested in January 2023 on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic assault.
A fifth-round draft pick by Houston in 2019, Omenihu has 19.5 sacks, 53 quarterback hits, 101 tackles and six forced fumbles in 78 games (12 starts) with the Texans (2019-21), San Francisco 49ers (2021-22) and Chiefs.
