Chiefs Free Agents

Top 5 Kansas City Chiefs Free Agents, Ranked

5. Charles Omenihu

Charles Omenihu tore his ACL late in 2023 and hasn’t looked the same since. Nobody expected him to recapture his old form in 2024 as he worked his way back from the injury, but he has no excuse for 2025. The pass rusher had a disappointing season, recording just 3.5 sacks and a 55.8 PFF grade, the 94th-best mark out of 115 eligible edge defenders.

Now entering his age-29 season, Charles Omenihu may be closer to the end of his career than the beginning. The silver lining for the Chiefs is that it’s hard to imagine anyone spending big on the impending free agent. Kansas City could sign him to a one-year deal for close to the league minimum, but he won’t have a guaranteed roster spot, and his presence shouldn’t prevent the team from addressing the position in the 2026 NFL Draft.
