I’ve took the stance for awhile that counting on Omenihu to be his 2023 self is a little ignorant to what history shows.

Best case, he starts looking normal by the playoffs.

Plus he can spy Lamar in the playoffs…he ran a 4.58 40 time

Completely different strengths and roles. Uche works much better WITH a guy like Omenihu on the roster than without.

This doesn't say anything about Omenihu. If anything it suggests to me that they do expect him back or this isn't the kind of guy they'd be adding.

He complements a Danna/Omenihu sort just perfectly.

That Cam Thomas trade has been a bust. Hopefully this ends up better.

This may be the best DL Spags will have here.

Andy said today they think they’ll be fine at corner. Guessing this was part of that thought.

Omenihu and Uche are nothing alike, Uche is a speed rusher that doesn't defend the run and can play hand down or standing up...Omenihu is a power rusher DE/DT hybrid.

Trading for Uche has no bearing on Omenihu this just gives the Chiefs a player they didn't have, our entire rush is based on power, having a speed guy allows for some different looks and gives the offense something else to deal with.

It’s not all that close in my mind. May have been before the trade.

Who?

Only reason for the may is uncertainty with Onenihu and Danna.

Could also mean they don't believe BJ Thompson will play this year. This guy looks like a much better player though.

Dee Ford 2.0?

I hear there is some kind of pills that are constantly being advertised on AM sports radio stations that will fix this.

(I have zero knowledge of these products myself of course)

They've been bringing him on slowly same for the DT from Philly.

Here’s 1 comment from the Bills forum and there’s plenty like this in their thread about the trade. This is a great move by the Chiefs:

“For a freaking 6th rounder in 2026. NE basically gave him away! WTF NE!!!!”
