Source: DL Charles Omenihu to sign 2-year, $16M deal with Chiefs

Defensive lineman Charles Omenihu is signing a two-year, $16 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The San Francisco 49ers acquired Omenihu from the Houston Texans in 2021 in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick. He quickly became a prominent member of the Niners' defensive line rotation, playing on the edge and inside.

In a season and a half in San Francisco, Omenihu appeared in 26 regular-season games, posting 26 tackles, 4.5 sacks (all last season, which set a career high) and a forced fumble.
