According to Jordan Schultz of The Score, the Kansas City Chiefs are signing former San Francisco 49ers defensive end Charles Omenihu to a two-year deal worth up to $20 million. Omenihu is an unrestricted free agent.
The Houston Texans made Omenihu (6-5, 280) a fifth-round selection (No. 161 overall) out of Texas in 2019. The Texans traded him to the 49ers on November 2, 2021. The defensive lineman registered career-highs in tackles (20) and sacks (4.5), adding three tackles for a loss, 16 quarterback hits, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble through 17 game appearances (three starts) with the 49ers last season, per
Pro Football Reference.
Omenihu, 25, has recorded 67 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and six passes defensed in 61 game appearances (10 starts) through his four NFL seasons with the Texans and 49ers. He was
arrested after domestic violence allegations ahead of San Francisco's NFC Championship Game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Why John Lynch believes 49ers QB Brock Purdy is the "real deal"
By Rohan Chakravarthi

Over the offseason, there has been significant talk surrounding the San Francisco 49ers and their quarterbacks, especially after the team signed Sam Darnold in free agency, providing them three capable options with starting experience in the former Carolina Panther, Brock Purdy, and Trey Lance.
Purdy is evidently the leader in the clubhouse, as stated by general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan several times this offseason, but many have pointed out his flaws, such as the inability to make throws downfield, as a reason why one of the other quarterbacks could win over the starting job with a strong performance in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.

At a June 6th press conference, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the Gray has gotten a lot better from where he left off last season.
