"According to Jane Slater of the NFL Network, the invaluable defensive lineman took significantly less money last season than the Commanders had offered him before Peters ultimately overpaid for Javon Kinlaw. Odighizuwa was evidently planning to be in Dallas for a long time, as he had even built himself a new home."
"Odighizuwa was sent to the Niners after only one season of his deal, in exchange for a third-round pick. Hopefully, the chance to compete for Super Bowls, something he wasn't going to have in Dallas, makes up for what had to have felt like a punch to the gut."
Osa Odighizuwa signed a four-year, $80 million deal with the Dallas Cowboys after being drafted by them in 2021. Despite the Washington Commanders offering significantly more money, Odighizuwa chose to stay in Dallas, taking less money and even building a new home there. However, the Cowboys traded him to the San Francisco 49ers after only one season in exchange for a third-round pick. The move represents a significant disappointment for Odighizuwa, who had rejected the Commanders' offer to remain loyal to Dallas. The Commanders, led by Adam Peters and Dan Quinn, had actively pursued Odighizuwa but ultimately invested in other defensive line options like Javon Kinlaw.
