He's coming off his best season, tallying 16 quarterback hits and 28 initial pressures with #49ers. Omenihu's only 25 years old.

Omenihu recorded 4.5 regular-season and 2.0 playoff sacks last season as part of 15.0 total sacks over his four-year career (69 games), and he also had 62 total pressures (per PFF) in 2022. For comparison’s sake, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones had 97 total pressures, former Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark had 56 and Chiefs rookie defensive end George Karlaftis had 49.

Look at other top pass rushers’ salaries, Omenihu’s reported contract already seems like a bargain. Of course, we will wait for the details on that front.

Omenihu was arrested in late January on the suspicion of domestic violence, and he was later released after posting bail. The 49ers said at the time that they felt “very good about the legal process” taking care of itself, and they allowed Omenihu to continue to play.
