Obviously, Omenihu’s play made him a hot commodity in free agency, but perhaps not only was the price tag too costly, but the impending situation?
The question becomes, did the Chiefs realize this was a possibility?
Originally, Omehinu’s contract was a base salary of $1,080,000, a signing bonus of $7,500,000, and a workout bonus of $20,000 while carrying a cap hit of $4,490,000 and a dead cap value of $7,500,000.
The language in the contract will determine how the money breaks out for Omenihu, but one thing is certain, the Chiefs were counting on his presence and production.
Last season, Omenihu tallied 20 combined tackles, 13 assists, and four and a half sacks as a rotational defensive lineman for the 49ers. His four and a half sacks were a career-high.
