Cowboys Trade Osa Odighizuwa to 49ers for 2026 Third‑round Pick, per Reports

Odighizuwa, under contract through 2028, was traded as the Cowboys reshape their defensive line after acquiring Rashan Gary and other defenders.

  • NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the Dallas Cowboys traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 third-round pick yesterday.
  • Faced with a scheme shift under Christian Parker, Dallas planned to move to a three-man front and traded Odighizuwa, avoiding a $32.75 million dead-cap hit and gaining roster flexibility.
  • Pro Football Focus credited Odighizuwa with 52 pressures last season, and he signed a four-year, $80 million extension with a $16.25 million base salary and $500,000 bonuses.
  • For San Francisco, Odighizuwa provides an immediate interior pass-rush boost, while Dallas received a 2026 third-round pick and increased roster flexibility, sources said.
  • The cost factor matters because Odighizuwa's cap number rises to $24.5 million in 2027 and 2028, and San Francisco finished last season with a league-low 20 sacks and 26.7% pressure rate.
