Nah - he wasn't very good last year.
Which is why I'm pretty reluctant to consider Omenihu's return as some sort of panacea. We've seen time and time and time again that these ACL injuries just take longer to return to full go.
Oh sure, they can get back on the field, but it often takes a full season to get back to where they were.
That was why I was really hopeful we'd try to use the lost time from Omenihu to leverage an extension. Get him to add another year onto that deal, move a little money to 2025, spend that freed up money on a better short-term replacement for him than Danna and then you'd get the best of both worlds with a fully healthy Omenihu the following season.
Then he hit social media and kinda made me think we may have approached him with the idea and he told us where to stick it.
