"He provides a lot of versatility with where he can line up," Peters said. Okonkwo signed with Washington in free agency this offseason. He'll be an intriguing double-digit round target for fantasy managers this season at the tight end position.

John Keim of ESPN believes the Commanders are expected to involve tight ends more in the passing game this season.

Chig Okonkwo is expected to lead the Commanders tight end room this season. He will be a tight end sleeper to monitor in the double-digit rounds of drafts this year.

Chig Okonkwo has agreed to a three year deal with the Washington Commanders.

Chig is coming off of a career best 56 receptions for 560 yards in 2025 on the inept Titans offense, leading the team in both categories. It’s a good deal for Washington who bolster their receiving room with Zach Ertz no longer in town and Ben Sinnott as their current top TE, who has yet to produce in his NFL career. He should slide in as a top option for QB Jayden Daniels. As for the Titans, this paves the way for Gunner Helm to get his crack at the starting job, provided the Titans don’t replace him.

The Tennessee Titans and tight end Chig Okonkwo are reportedly in discussions regarding a contract extension.

Okonkwo's rookie deal ended following the 2025 season, and he is scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency. The 26-year-old hauled in 56 catches for 560 yards and a pair of touchdowns while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Chig Okonkwo caught two of five targets for two yards in the Titans' 41-7 loss to the Jaguars.

Chig Okonkwo closes his fourth season in Tennessee with career highs in targets, receptions, and yards. He's been incredibly consistent with his reception totals, with 54, 52, and 56 receptions in the last three years. He is an unrestricted free agent in 2026, but it's worth wondering whether the team will bring him back with the Titans lacking in receiving talent surrounding QB Cam Ward.
