"The four-year, $100 million deal with $68 million guaranteed is a calculated risk. Peters, head coach Dan Quinn, and defensive coordinator Daronte Jones are probably confident Oweh can thrive as a focal point, but it's a journey into the unknown."
"After initially showing a strong interest in Hendrickson, despite trading for Rashan Gary, Nick Harris from The Dallas Star Telegram believes the All-Pro is off the table for the Cowboys unless his demands come down. And the Commanders' willingness to pay Oweh above market value is a major reason."
"Don't think anyone expected the EDGE market to explode how it did today. Not expecting Dallas to be major players for Trey Hendrickson at this point in time. A lot of others are off the board. Might be time to hunt in tier 2/3 for depth pieces and draft one."
The Washington Commanders secured edge rusher Odafe Oweh with a four-year, $100 million contract featuring $68 million guaranteed, addressing their defensive needs following Jaelan Phillips' departure to Carolina. This significant investment represents a calculated risk for the organization under head coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. The deal's market-setting value has shifted the edge rusher landscape league-wide, with Trey Hendrickson seeking $30 million annually from the Cincinnati Bengals. The inflated market has effectively priced out the Dallas Cowboys from pursuing Hendrickson, forcing them to explore lower-tier options and draft prospects instead.
