Tuesday was the trade deadline in the NFL and despite Kyle Shanahan telling reporters on Monday he didn’t expect the team to make any moves, the 49ers acquired DL Charles Omenihu from the Houston Texans in exchange for the team’s 2023 sixth round draft pick. Omenihu must pass a physical for the trade to be executed.
Omenihu (6-5, 280) was originally drafted by the Texans in fifth round (161st overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. Throughout his three-year career with Houston (2019-21), he has appeared in 35 games (seven starts) and registered 41 tackles, 7.0 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
