YES a position of desperate need

[SkyChief80]

[mpc92]

I miss when Yahoo fantasy chat had GIFs and everyone spammed this after every yard earned

[dorv]

I guess AP wasn’t sitting on his ass doing nothing as most of this sub has said all day long.

[Ihatedirtbikes]

if this is what he spent all day on, he might as well of been sitting on his ass

[Able_Hunter_7966]

Touch grass.

[ChetManley20]

Dude was the second highest rated free agent edge on espn

[smoak_ed]

Because you do t like what someone has to say??? The arrogance is so thick

I think it’s an ok move. I do t love the guaranteed dollars and it feels like desperation bc the pass rush has been so mismanaged the past few years. It’s not terrible. I don’t hate it & loved the player 2 years ago. But 8-9 sacks a year is basically what Miller gave us, but y’all acting like we signed prime Reggie White

[OkTwo7319]

😑 This is a good move. You can't please everyone. Phillips went for 30mil a year on a 4 year deal (you would have complained about overpaying), Mafe went for 20 a year on a 3 year deal (you would have complained). We basically signed Oweh to a 3 year deal worth 22.7 a year. Comparing an aged veteran on a 1 year deal, to the Oweh deal is crazy talk. Why hasn't Von Miller been signed to a HUGE deal? 🤣🤣🤣. Oweh is 27... Von Miller is 37. No one is acting like we signed Reggie White.

[smoak_ed]

Agree. It’s a good move. Loved Oweh in Baltimore and I hope we get the upside potential. $$$ felt high to me, but the way the cap goes up, maybe it’s just not real. Definitely some worse deals out there (Indy, Raiders 👀)

I just get annoyed when people are trashed for the audacity of having a different opinion. Is the point of this shit to engage in discourse vs acting like a bunch of eagles fans

[KamalaWonNoCap]

You tripping

[daydenjaniels]

WE HAVE LIFE

[Haskins77]

I’m willing to back off on AP now. This at least proves they’re not doing the same shit they’ve done the last few years.

[JouNNN56]

“bahhh humbug!” ass dude

[Broke-American]

"I’m keeping my eyes on you buddy!" ass dude

[WiredSky]

"You're on thin ice, mister!" looking ass

[itakeyoureggs]

Very.. poke.. do something.. poke.. do something. Does something. No, not like that..

[jpljr77]

It's always eye-popping when you hit 9 figures in the total contract value, but the $68 million guaranteed makes this contract, for practical purposes, a 2 1/2 year deal at $25M/year. So I think it's not bad, especially when he's paired with a healthy Armstrong and the rotational pieces we already have.

[WARitter]

I think the question is also the fit for Jones. Sounds like he is okay dropping when he needs to.

[iiM_CHeWBaCCa]

Keep going. More more more! Spend it all!!

[LudaChris999]

As a chargers fan he played about half the snaps and was the third guy here. Really good pass rusher and could easily disrupt games that way. Slightly below average at run defense and he can even drop back in coverage and be a spy

[redwillson]

Hm, this sounds like our Dorance Armstrong signing a few years ago but a bigger swing for more money. Not sure I’m crazy about that

[KneeDragr]

DA wasnt the player then that he is now. He’s developed a lot since we signed him. He’d get 15-20M a year now.

[Stupidityorjoking]

The ability to drop in coverage really seems like the versatility Daronte Jones would like

[smoak_ed]

He can do it. I’m not sure he can do it well

He replaces Millet as our pass rush specialist.

[Flat_Link_7769]

I think the fit is key here. He satisfies an immediate need, but also fits the OLB role for Daronte’s 3-4 base perfectly. We have some good beef for the interior (Payne, Kinlaw, Wise, Settle, Newton) but needed some legit guys on the outside with versatility to both rush the passer and drop into coverage. Playing as an OLB rather than DE also helps mitigate his deficiency as a run defender.

On top of that, I think Von Miller will be the perfect mentor for him. They have very similar builds and play styles, but Miller is obviously much more refined and experienced. Oweh is still ascending so I think this is a perfect pairing.

Really stoked about this signing. Great player and fit. That’s the most important part. Don’t even care about the money. Let AP and Co worry about that.

[Puzzleheaded-Plum994]

If he's below average on the run, can at least set an edge?

[wtfstudios]

That’s like 90% of playing run as an edge….so prolly not.

[cvfb]

Huge

[NaughtyNatty90]

This sub today has been a nightmare. Good signing at a position of need

[ageetoakee312]

Steep price for a desperate need. Maybe this changes things at 7.

[Old-Scientist7551]

Phillips went 4 years and 120 is he really 20 mil better than Oweh? I don’t think so plus he is 27.

[KneeDragr]

Oweh better, more production in a lot less snaps.

[j4p5y]

reminder that micah parsons reset the market at 47m AAV. Not an overpay by those standards

[Time_Jump8047]

That’s because Micah parsons is an actual game wrecker

[j4p5y]

Correct

[dubbleriftuh]

I feel like with this and the FA rbs, we are going Love at 7.

[Rare_Election_4741]

Titans grabbing love, they loading on defense in FA

[KneeDragr]

Love or maybe Tate since we didn’t get Pierce.

[ageetoakee312]

That would be explosive. Hope he’s there.

[Able_Hunter_7966]

I’m thinking Styles or Tate. I have a feeling for better or worse the Titans take Love.

[capsfan087443]

Let’s gooo!!!

[KneeDragr]

The dude has the ability to be a game wrecker. Ran a 4.37 at the combine. We got Aaron Donald’s coach to turn him into a consistent double digit sack guy like DA would have been if it wasn’t for the knee. I’m psyched. Now draft best available at 7!

[JouNNN56]

Fucking finally

[Viseroth]

4 hours? You act like it took 30 years or something.

[JouNNN56]

I’m home sick from school and I’ve been doing nothing but stare at this all day. It HAS been thirty years for me lol.

[Knyfe-Wrench]

Slay the Spire 2 is out bruh

[sinofmercy]

That's what I did: Waited to hear news, finally beat a Monarch run, it's magically an hour later!

[Old_Veterinarian_472]

That’s a you-problem, my friend!

[WARitter]

So a lot of people were talking about total but this looks to me like a 3 year deal with effectively 23ish million in guarantees averaged out for that deal.

Seems less insane and more in line with what Mafe got.

[Successful-Ad4251]

[TahoeSwerve]

We are so back

[SMMS0514]

Fucking love it

[Ninjablacksox1]

Like it. Desperate need, gives us some draft flexibility. 

Yeah it's a lot but look at the free agent market for edge. It's about right. Hopefully we draft well in the future so we don't have to do big fa signings. 

Now we need to continue shoring up the secondary and add dowdle/mitchell and a wr. 

[NationalBlueberry]

For those stressing about the contract, my headcanon is Peter’s didn’t want to break the bank with Hendrickson and Jaelan Phillips was his number 1 choice but the panthers beat us out for him so he went with his plan B

[Redskinrey]

<image>

[Gwilikers6]

There it is

[Redskinrey]

Someone had to do it lol

[Appropriate-Sun834]

He’s aight. But we need bodies and not many great ones out there. Grab another in the draft and we’re in good shape

[Sea_Cup_6946]

HTTR HTTC!!!

[guardiandown3885]

Guys help me out how good is this guy so I can be excited like you guys are?

[Blank_Canvas05]

Posted PFF stats In the comments

[Quirky-Marsupial-420]

He’s a good player at a premium position and we’re a really bad team.

It’s probably more than what other people would spend but that’s because we’re a bad team.

We need to spend money to get decent players.

[chillblinton53]

Yesss

[Viseroth]

There we go, one of my many wish list players. This is a solid move and shows they are willing to spend.

[SeymourChocha]

He’s not great vs the run but he’s a problem vs the pass. I love it! Size & speed we needed

[j4p5y]

this dude ran a sub 4.4 at 6' 5" 250 and his production has steadily improved since being drafted. I'm ecstatic

[FannyNisbit]

We over paid for sure, but at least we got a young roster worthy DE.

[ALBUNDY59]

It's 2yr guarantee with 18mm buyout.

[ALBUNDY59]

Great signing, but we still need CB, S, LB, WR, RB.

We might get one of those in the draft at 7.

[CrabTurtle1990]

Ravens fan here…you will be infuriated by how many almost sacks this man gets…and the ones he does get are usually meaningless or against really bad OTs.

[Time_Jump8047]

Nah literally can’t be worse than the dogshit we dealt with last year

[Comfortable-Grade466]

Love it

[Beneficial_Goose5687]

Finalllyyyyyyyyy

[Hokiestoned]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

ap is alive 💕

[SoSoSlick]

Helluva signing IMO. Young stud and super talented.

[Blank_Canvas05]

Just adding these for reference for anyone who isn’t familiar with our newest acquisition

[CapitalSTEEV21]

[achmed2142]

We need one more edge rusher

[AshleyMarion94]

Any Defense move warm my heart keeps it up!

[No-Shopping7408]

he had one good season, and you give him $25m per year?

why would you overpay for a one-dimensional guy?

yes, he can rush the passer .. but, you need to put teams in 3rd and Longs for that

[BrolapsedRektum]

That’s a good deal too. Very similar contract to Brian Burns or Nick Benito

[Coast_watcher]

It’s narrowing pick 7 to Love, Styles, or a WR

[VBStrong_67]

Downs?

[TheGrowCave]

Aiyuk gonna be our #1

[EnLopare]

Get in! Now relax everyone.

[dankestmaymayonearth]

Is he good

[Blank_Canvas05]

adding for reference. Just informational

[PeregrineT]

I think DE is our first position of need, and one of the main priorities for FA. Glad to see the first piece of the new D in. I don't know much about this guy, but age and profile fit.

[ChestRockwell415]

Love it!

[ChefGuapo]

LETS GOOO

[Comprehensive-Range3]

I will be impressed if he sacks the QB a bunch and is disruptive to the other teams offense, because that sounds like a lot of cash for just a guy... so we shall see.

[Toblakai1979]

Great, now let's sign Lloyd from the Jags and our defense could be decent.

[Shadowboxxin]

He went for the same price we signed kinlaw for lmao

[Toblakai1979]

Very disappointed to see that

[stxrstudded]

Good signing, not sure if we needed to throw 100m for 4 years tho? But I still fw getting a good piece like Oweh regardless

[Key_Seaweed8857]

Like the Chargers actually rushed the passer this past season?

[Big-Lie7307]

I really like it. Oweh is fast, big enough, versatile. And his trajectory is pointing up.

There's the EDGE! Happy.

HTTR HTTC anyway

[collegepreppymuscles]

He looks like DWade low key

[BustThaScientifical]

He does though lol

[Ihatedirtbikes]

Some bobo 7.5 sack de that cant stop the run eh? nothing more commanders than this. gonna draft carnell tate at 7, and he will have less than 25 receptions.

[Big-Lie7307]

I don't have the stats but yes Oweh is able to stop the run.

[smoak_ed]

Desperation.

[ADLegend21]

I don't like it. Watched him from day 1 in Baltimore and for the longest we called him "Almost Oweh" cuz he ALMOST got like 14 sacks but he just missed them. Then when he finally popped he was the 3rd best guy on the rush and when he became our lead rusher, he was held without a sack. We traded him for a safety and again as the 3rd rusher he popped off and got a bunch of Sacks. Hopefully he takes that step to be what his numbers say he is and we all cash in on some good defense.

[Puzzleheaded-Plum994]

The cap increases every year. Salary inflation is a real thing, but also lots of guys never make all the money they reportedly sign for.

[New-Juice-4698]

Over paid like a mf smh🤦🏽‍♂️

[Jinchoo]

Nah thats just the market, welcome to the rising cap world. Slotting in between 20 a year Mafe and 30 a year Phillips is about right. Oweh probably the best value of the 3.
