"About 30 minutes after word broke that they were trading Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round pick, word also broke about a different defensive tackle on the team being traded. It was reported that the Cowboys are dealing Solomon Thomas, who they signed in free agency last year, to the Tennessee Titans in a reported seventh-round pick swap."
"This was clearly a move made to shed a player that the Cowboys did not seem to have a use for and it reunites Thomas with Aaron Whitecotton, who he also played for with the New York Jets. It goes without saying that Titans head coach (and former Jets') Robert Saleh is a part of that, too."
The Dallas Cowboys executed two defensive line trades on Wednesday. They traded Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round pick. Simultaneously, they traded Solomon Thomas to the Tennessee Titans in a seventh-round pick swap, moving up seven spots in draft order from pick 225 to pick 218. Solomon Thomas, signed by Dallas in free agency the previous year, reunites with Aaron Whitecotton in Tennessee. Titans head coach Robert Saleh, formerly with the New York Jets where Thomas also played, facilitated the move. The trades indicate the Cowboys sought to shed underutilized roster depth while improving draft positioning.
