Ravens Trade Odafe Oweh to Chargers for Alohi Gilman and 2026 Fifth-Round Pick

The move reflects Baltimore’s push for safety help and cap relief as Los Angeles looks for pass‑rush support with Khalil Mack sidelined.

Overview

  • Trade terms reported by multiple outlets: Baltimore receives safety Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-round pick; Los Angeles gets edge rusher Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-rounder originally from the Rams.
  • Both Oweh and Gilman are on expiring deals, with the Ravens expected to clear roughly $8 million in salary-cap space by moving Oweh’s fifth-year option.
  • Baltimore’s secondary has been thinned by injuries to Kyle Hamilton (groin), Marlon Humphrey (calf) and Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring), and the team also signed C. J. Gardner-Johnson to the practice squad for depth.
  • Oweh posted 10 sacks in 2024 but has 10 tackles, five QB hits and no sacks through five games this season while playing a career-low snap share, as the Ravens’ defense ranks last in points allowed and near the bottom in sacks.
  • The Chargers, 3-2 with Mack on injured reserve because of an elbow injury, have been among the league leaders in sacks and are betting a change of scenery can boost Oweh’s pass rush.
