The San Francisco 49ers are finalizing a trade to acquire standout defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa from the Dallas Cowboys, according to reports from Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Jane Slater of NFL Network.
The deal sends the veteran interior lineman to the Bay Area as the 49ers look to fortify their defensive front. Odighizuwa has been a key contributor for Dallas since being selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of UCLA. Known for his quickness off the ball and ability to disrupt the pocket from the interior, he provides an immediate boost to the San Francisco defensive rotation.
While the specific draft compensation headed back to the Cowboys has not yet been fully disclosed, the move represents a significant addition for the 49ers defense. Odighizuwa has been a durable and productive member of the Dallas defensive line, consistently appearing in the lineup over the past three seasons.
The trade is expected to be made official pending the successful completion of a physical. This move comes as the 49ers continue to address depth along the defensive line following various personnel shifts throughout the season.
