Cowboys ship Odighizuwa to 49ers for third-round pick amid defensive reshuffle

Dallas trades defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for the No. 92 overall third-round pick in the 2026 draft, as part of a broader defensive overhaul that also sent Solomon Thomas to the Titans for a swapped seventh-round pick. Odighizuwa’s four-year, $80 million contract’s remaining years will be held by SF (with a 2026 cap hit of about $16.75M), while Dallas saves roughly $4.75 million of the signing bonus but takes about $16 million in dead money. The deals hinge on both players passing physicals. The Cowboys had previously added Pro Bowl interior linemen Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams, signaling a shift to a different 3-4 front, and the 49ers hope to bolster their interior pressure with Odighizuwa.
