What happened: NFL Network's Mike Garafolo tweeted about a great month for the Oweh brothers: Washington Commanders DE Odafe Oweh signed a four-year, $100 million contract averaging $25M annually, while his brother Otega Oweh hit a game-tying buzzer-beater three-pointer to force overtime in No. 7 Kentucky's 89-84 OT win over No. 10 Santa Clara in the NCAA Tournament. Otega finished with a career-high 35 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
Why it matters: The signing bolsters Washington's pass rush with a young, athletic edge rusher who adds needed depth after playing for the Chargers and previously Baltimore. Positive family momentum may boost team morale entering the offseason.
By the numbers: Contract: 4 years, $100M max ($96M base), $68M guaranteed ($50.6M fully gtd), $26M signing bonus. 2026 cap hit: $9.2M. Otega Oweh stats: 35 PTS, 8 REB, 7 AST vs. Santa Clara.
What to watch: Monitor Odafe Oweh's integration into Dan Quinn's defense during OTAs and training camp for health updates. Watch Commanders' remaining free agency moves for further roster improvements.
