49ers land Osa Odighizuwa in Cowboys trade for 2026 third-round pick

The San Francisco 49ers announced they acquired defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the team’s 2026 third-round pick. Odighizuwa, a 6-2, 280-pound lineman, has played in 84 games (76 starts) over five seasons with Dallas, recording 216 tackles and 17.0 sacks. In 2025 he appeared in 17 games with 44 tackles and 3.5 sacks. A UCLA product from Portland, Oregon, Odighizuwa adds depth to SF’s defensive line as they bolster their roster ahead of free agency and the 2026 season.

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.

Dallas traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers for a third-round pick, saving $4.75 million against the cap but taking on a $16 million dead-cap charge. The move comes as the Cowboys pivot to a 3-4 under new coordinator Christian Parker, shortly after signing nose tackle Otito Ogbonnia, and Odighizuwa reunites with ex-Cowboys DC Matt Eberflus in San Francisco after posting 44 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 23 QB hits last season.
