49ers Land Cowboys DT Osa Odighizuwa for 2026 Third-Rounder as Commanders Rebuild Pass Rush

The flurry shows NFC teams using cap flexibility to rebalance rosters to fix pass-rush gaps.

Overview

  • Dallas sent Odighizuwa to San Francisco for a 2026 third-round pick (No. 92), one year after signing him to a four-year, $80 million extension.
  • The deal thins a crowded Cowboys interior line built around Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark and saves roughly $4.75 million against the 2026 cap.
  • San Francisco targets interior pressure help after finishing last in sacks in 2025, positioning Odighizuwa as a key inside disruptor.
  • Washington’s overhaul is headlined by Odafe Oweh’s four-year, $100 million contract with $68 million guaranteed after a Chargers surge of 7.5 sacks in 12 games and a three-sack wild-card outing.
  • The Commanders supplemented the marquee move with multi-year deals for cornerback Amik Robertson and defensive tackle Tim Settle plus one-year edge additions Charles Omenihu (up to $7 million) and K’Lavon Chaisson.
