To say that Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu’s 2023-24 season was a rise would be accurate. What started as a suspension eventually turned into a very respectable effort from October to January, but then ended when the veteran pass rusher suffered a torn ACL in the conference title game.Omenihu, now on the other side of successful surgery, has recently used X to express , that he wants “the feeling of being valued”. This led to speculation as to what his tweet meant; many assumptions suggested that social media activity was related to the contract. Although Omenihu did not address the issue directly at the time, he certainly did this week..
Waking up to Good Morning Football, Omenihu was asked if he did enough last season to earn a new contract. He responded with a somewhat apt answer. Waking up to Good Morning Football, Omenihu was asked if he did enough last season to earn a new contract. He responded with a somewhat apt answer.”Honestly, I think I did,” said Omenihu. “Like you said, seven sacks in 11 games and then the hit in the [AFC] championship game that set off a wave of defensive plays. Second on the team in sacks and no catches the first six games. With George (Karlaftis) and Chris ( Jones). I think I did, I think the tape speaks for itself. I think I played a dominant running game and then with rushing, inside and outside and just one-on-one, created a turnover, had spark. and liked the energy game they wanted me to be when I got there.”I think I did, honestly,” Omenihu said. “Like you said, seven sacks in 11 games and then you are fired in the [AFC] championship game, which sets off a wave of defensive plays.

I think I played a dominant running game and then rushed, inside and outside and just one-on-one, causing turnovers, being the spark and kind of the energy game that they wanted me to be when I got there..
I wish I had a whole season to do the same this year. But I think I showed everybody in the organization [and] everybody in the league that I should be talked about in the conversation, maybe not with (Nick) Bosa and them, but with those guys right after. Guys, when you go and make your game plan, you’ve got to get 90 players on the field because if you don’t, I’m going to get your quarterback one way or another.”.
