According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Dallas Cowboys are fielding calls about defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, and the San Francisco 49ers are among the teams that have reached out.

"Two league sources say that the San Francisco 49ers are among the teams that have made contact with Dallas," Harris wrote.


H/t to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk for highlighting the report.

The Pro Football Talk writer also noted a connection between the teams. The 49ers hired former Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus as their assistant head coach of defense this offseason.

"Odighizuwa signed a four-year, $80 million contract last offseason before the Cowboys traded for defensive tackles Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams," Charean Williams wrote. "On Tuesday, they signed nose tackle Otito Ogbonnia."

According to OverTheCap.com, Odighizuwa is scheduled to carry a $20.75 million salary-cap hit in 2026.

The Cowboys selected Odighizuwa (6-2, 280) in the third round (75th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of UCLA. He has spent his entire NFL career in Dallas, serving as a primary starter along the interior defensive line since his rookie season.


During the 2025 season, Odighizuwa appeared in all 17 games, making 13 starts. He recorded 44 tackles and 28 assists while adding 3.5 sacks and 23 quarterback hits, helping anchor the middle of the Cowboys' defensive front.

Through five NFL seasons, Odighizuwa has appeared in 84 games with 76 starts, totaling 216 tackles, 17.0 sacks, and 34 tackles for loss. He has also registered 81 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, and one pass defensed.
