ARLINGTON, TX - NOVEMBER 23: Osa Odighizuwa #97 of the Dallas Cowboys looks on from the sideline during the national anthem prior to an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium on November 23, 2025 in Arlington, Texas
DALLAS - The National Football League began its new year on Wednesday, which means all the trades and free agent signings from the last few days can become official.
Keep up with our tracker of all the Dallas Cowboys' offseason moves, which will be updated as news breaks.
Wednesday updates
5:30 p.m.: Osa Odighizuwa traded to 49ers
The Cowboys had a glut of defensive tackles on their roster, and on Wednesday afternoon, they reportedly made a trade to address that.
The team is sending DT Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers will send a third-round pick (92 overall) in the 2026 NFL Draft back to Dallas to complete the deal. The trade also gives Dallas cap relief.
Odighizuwa was originally drafted by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He posted 17 sacks, 34 tackles for loss and 2 forced fumbles in five seasons with the team.
The Cowboys did not have a third-round pick in this year's NFL Draft prior to this trade. They traded their own 2026 third-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens last summer.
8 a.m.: New QB signed
The Cowboys added to their QB room Wednesday morning, agreeing to a deal with former Eagles quarterback Sam Howell.
Howell played with Philadelphia in 2024, and previously played with the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks. He joins a quarterback room that includes Dak Prescott and Joe Milton.
Tuesday updates: Cowboys add depth pieces
The Cowboys signed several players to 1-year deals on Tuesday, including safety P.J. Locke from the Broncos on a $5 million deal and defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia from the Chargers on a $3 million deal.
The team also adjusted the contract of DT Kenny Clark, giving the team more cap space.
Monday updates: Trades and signings emerge
The Cowboys made several moves on the first day of the tampering period.
Dallas traded a fourth-round pick for defensive end Rashan Gary from the Green Bay Packers. They also signed former Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson to a 3-year deal worth $33 million.
Gary spoke to team media after his trade was made official on Wednesday, saying "I just can't wait to go to work and show the Cowboys Nation what I'm all about."
The team also re-signed defensive end Sam Williams to a 1-year deal.
