Omenihu has shown flashes of being a top-tier pass rusher during his time as a Chief.
The team signed Omenihu, 27, prior to the 2023 season. He collected seven sacks in the 2023 season and was off to a strong start in the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens when he suffered a torn ACL.
Omenihu battled back to return to the lineup in 2024 and helped the team down the stretch run in the regular season and the playoffs.
Omenihu was originally drafted by the Houston Texans in the 5th round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas.
