Overview
- The Cowboys traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 third-round pick in March 2026, a move the team announced as part of its offseason roster shifts.
- San Francisco created short-term cap room and adjusted contracts in April so it could add Odighizuwa as an interior option for a defensive line that includes Nick Bosa, Alfred Collins and Mykel Williams.
- Odighizuwa said on The Richard Sherman Podcast in May that he has the Week 10 matchup with Dallas "on the dartboard," using a dartboard and knife image to describe circling the November 15, 2026 game at AT&T Stadium.
- The 49ers view Odighizuwa as a middle-of-the-lineup player who can help generate more interior pressure after the team finished last in the league in sacks last season.
- Odighizuwa, who started 76 games for Dallas and has 17 career sacks, said the trade brought mixed emotions but that he is excited to chase a deep playoff run and pursue a Super Bowl ring with his new team.
