The Cowboys have traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
The Cowboys will receive a third-round pick in return.
The move was expected after they signed nose tackle Otito Ogbonnia on Tuesday, and a report indicated they were [in talks with the 49ers](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-cowboys-getting-calls-about-availability-of-dt-osa-odighizuwa). It reunites Odighizuwa with Matt Eberflus, who was the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator last season and now serves as the 49ers’ assistant head coach of defense.
The Cowboys will get Odighizuwa’s $16.25 million salary off the books.
Dallas made a splash re-signing last offseason, inking one of the NFL’s top free agents to a four-year, $80 million contract with $58 million guaranteed. The Cowboys then traded for defensive tackles Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams during the season.
That gave the Cowboys a glut at the position as they switch to the 3-4 under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
Odighizuwa totaled 44 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 23 quarterback hits in 17 games last season.
