After watching Patrick Queen bet on himself in 2023 and depart, the Ravens took steps to secure Odafe Oweh’s future by picking up his fifth-year option.
The former Penn State pass rusher returned to training camp focused on the prize, and when asked by the media on Monday, Oweh made it clear that he’s ready for a big season.

Baltimore drafted Oweh in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Penn State. He started in 13 games last season and registered five sacks, tied for the most in his career. He also had 23 tackles, 12 quarterback hits, and two forced fumbles.
Oweh had his 5th-year option picked up despite just 13 career sacks in 3 years and an average of 19 pressures a season; they’re betting on his upside and potential while trying to avoid any hard feelings with the pass rusher. Oweh has also never had more than 19 pressures in a season.
