The Dallas Cowboys are trading defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round draft pick (No. 92 overall), a source confirmed to the Star-Telegram.
Odighizuwa, 27, spent five seasons with the Cowboys after being selected in the third round of the 2021 draft. He accumulated 216 tackles and 17.5 sacks in 84 games, missing just one contest in five years. He was a captain in 2025 after signing a four-year, $80 million extension last offseason.
He now heads to San Francisco, where he will reunite with former Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus who was hired as the 49ers’ assistant head coach of defense last month.
While the Cowboys will take on $16 million in dead cap in 2026, they will save $4.75 million by making this deal.
Minutes after Odighizuwa was shipped out, it was announced that fellow defensive tackle Solomon Thomas is being traded to the Tennessee Titans. The Cowboys and Titans swapped seventh-round picks in the deal, resulting in Dallas moving up from No. 225 overall to No. 218 overall.
Thomas reunited with former Cowboys defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton, who is now in Nashville. The two have spent four seasons together dating back to their tenure with the New York Jets.
Dallas saves $2.47 million toward the cap in the Thomas trade.
