Summary
The Chargers traded away their breakout pass-rushing star Odafe Oweh for a massive deal, but now they’ve got a cheaper, draft-picked alternative in Akheem Mesidor. Oweh’s explosive 2023 season—seven and a half sacks in just 12 games—was a huge boost, but his limited sample size and high cost made the Chargers wary of locking him in long-term. Now, he’s the centerpiece of Washington’s pass rush alongside K’Lavon Chaisson, but with thin depth behind them. The Chargers, meanwhile, opted for financial flexibility and future draft capital, knowing Oweh’s upside—and his risks—were too big to bet on long-term. Fans are left wondering if they made the right call, or if they’re now watching a star rise elsewhere.
