Cowboys Trade Defensive Tackle Osa Odighizuwa to 49ers for Third-Round Pick
The Dallas Cowboys have traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a third-round draft pick.
The Dallas Cowboys have traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round draft pick, according to reports.
Odighizuwa, who was selected by Dallas in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a rotational player on the Cowboys' defensive line during his tenure with the team. The UCLA product has appeared in games as both a defensive tackle and defensive end in Dallas's defensive scheme.
The trade provides the 49ers with additional depth along their defensive front, while the Cowboys receive future draft capital in return. San Francisco has been active in seeking defensive line reinforcements as they look to bolster their pass rush and run defense.
For Dallas, the move represents a shift in their roster construction as they continue to evaluate their defensive personnel. The third-round compensation suggests the Cowboys view Odighizuwa as a player with continued upside in the NFL.
The transaction is subject to standard league approval processes and physical examinations. Both teams are expected to finalize the trade pending completion of these routine procedures.
