ESPN analyst predicts seven sacks for Odafe Oweh in 2026

ESPN analytics expert Seth Walder projects Washington Commanders edge rusher Odafe Oweh to record seven sacks during the 2026 season. The Commanders signed Oweh to a four-year, $96 million contract this offseason to address a defensive pass-rush void following the departure of Von Miller. Oweh recorded 7.5 sacks across 12 games with the Los Angeles Chargers last season after being traded from the Baltimore Ravens, where he did not record a sack in five appearances. Walder anticipates Oweh will finish in the top 20 for sacks, though he noted the player's history of inconsistent performance. The team also added K’Lavon Chaisson, who recorded 7.5 sacks while with the New England Patriots last year. Washington expects the tandem to improve a defensive unit that finished with 42 sacks last season.
