"Prior to free agency beginning in 2025, the Cowboys struck a long-term deal with Osa Odighizuwa. Then the Micah Parsons situation, to put matters lightly, unfolded, and consumed all energy surrounding the team. Parsons was finally traded a week before the season began and Kenny Clark, who had his deal restructured by the Cowboys on Tuesday, was a part of the return."
"Fast forward to the trade deadline. The Cowboys made a trade for Quinnen Williams and suddenly had a lot of options. Tuesday's agreement with Otito Ogbonnia added another name into the mix. A little while after the Otito signing was reported a report emerged surrounding the longest-tenured name we have discussed: Odighizuwa."
"According to Jonathan Jones, teams are monitoring Odighizuwa and believe he can had by way of trade. You can certainly argue that trading a player away a year after giving him a new deal is not exactly how you want that to go, but as noted a lot has changed. There is now a surplus."
The Dallas Cowboys have rapidly built depth at defensive tackle through multiple moves: extending Osa Odighizuwa before free agency, acquiring Kenny Clark in the Micah Parsons trade, trading for Quinnen Williams at the deadline, and signing Otito Ogbonnia. This accumulation has created a surplus at the position. Odighizuwa, the last remaining player from the 2021 draft class, is now being monitored by other teams as a potential trade target. While trading a player shortly after extending him appears counterintuitive, the changed roster circumstances make a trade logical. The Cowboys could potentially use Odighizuwa in a trade to address other roster needs such as linebacker or cornerback.
