Free-agent defensive end Charles Omenihu is staying put.
After more than a week on the market, Omenihu has opted to rejoin the Chiefs on a one-year deal. Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, it has a maximum value of $7 million.
Omenihu suffered a torn ACL in the 2023 AFC Championship. He missed the first 11 games of the 2024 regular season due to the injury.
He returned for the final six regular-season games and the team’s three postseason games. He finished with 1.0 sacks in the regular season and 1.0 in the postseason.
A fifth-round pick of the Texans in 2019, he was traded to the 49ers during the 2021 season. He signed a two-year deal with the Chiefs in 2023.
