Last March, the Cowboys handed defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa a four-year extension worth up to $80 million. A year later, Dallas is sending Odighizuwa and his sizable contract to San Francisco.
Not long after the start of the new league year on Wednesday, the Cowboys gained a third-round pick from the 49ers in the deal for Odighizuwa. This marks the fourth time—and it’s hard to keep track—in the past year that the Cowboys have been involved in a trade involving a prominent defensive lineman. In a smaller move, Dallas also executed a trade that sent defensive lineman Solomon Thomas to the Titans in exchange for seventh-round pick swaps in April.
