"Odighizuwa was the last member of the 2021 Cowboys draft class left on the team's roster. Given that he just got a four-year, $80M extension from the team a year ago, it stood to reason that he would be around for a while. The NFL is fairly unpredictable though, obviously."
"The Cowboys had an incredible 11 picks when it was all said and done, and many of us believed that they would surely trade up at some point because of the totality of the ammunition. The Cowboys actually held 11 picks because they traded back early in the draft."
"There are a lot of former pet cats on this list, but it goes without saying that Parsons and Odighizuwa stood out among the group. The two were ultimately traded away within a seven-month span. Again, the NFL can be a tricky business sometimes."
The Dallas Cowboys traded defensive end Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers, receiving a third-round pick in return. Odighizuwa was the final remaining member of the Cowboys' 2021 draft class, despite receiving a four-year, $80 million extension just one year prior. The 2021 draft was notable for the Cowboys accumulating 11 total picks through strategic trades. The team traded back early in the draft, allowing them to acquire additional selections. Key picks from that class included Micah Parsons at 12th overall and Odighizuwa. With Odighizuwa's departure, all connections to the 2021 draft class have been severed, marking the end of an era for the franchise.
