The Dallas Cowboys promised a selectively aggressive 2025 offseason, and they proved that mantra to be true Tuesday by agreeing to terms on a four-year, $80 million contract with defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa hours before the franchise tag deadline. The team announced the deal, with the official website noting that it contains $52 million in guarantees.
In terms of average annual value, Odighizuwa now slots in as the 15th-highest paid interior defensive lineman.
Odighizuwa’s 60 quarterback pressures in 2024 were the second-most in the league at the defensive tackle position, and he outperformed Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter in both quarterback pressures (60 to 53) and quarterback pressure rate (12.3% to 10.4%) in 2024.
