Niners Trade for Odighizuwa, Strengthening Defensive Line
About this episode
The San Francisco Forty-Niners bolstered their defensive line by trading a third-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys for Osa Odighizuwa, following the loss of key players to free agency. General manager John Lynch acted swiftly to fill the void, with new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris building around upcoming draft picks. Odighizuwa, a UCLA standout and Cowboys third-round pick in 2021, played in 84 games over five seasons, recording 216 tackles, 81 quarterback hits, 17 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 batted pass. The emotional farewell from Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer and the potential for a strong player-coach bond under Kyle Shanahans leadership could make Odighizuwa a locker room favorite as the Niners prepare for a stronger front.

Dallas Cowboys News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Niners Trade for Odighizuwa, Strengthening Defensive Line. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 2nd, the San Francisco 49ers just beefed up their defensive line by trading a third-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys for OSA, Oda Gizua. This move came right at the start of the New League year when they lost Colleo Davis, Jordan Elliott, and Kevin Gibbons to free agency. General manager John Lynch acted fast to fill that gap, especially with new defensive coordinator Rahim Morris building around upcoming draft picks. Like Alfred Collins and CJ West for next season, at the league meetings this week, Cowboys coach Brian Shottenheimer got real emotional about letting Odidi Hizua go. He said it was tough because of a big scheme change, and they both wept on the phone. That's the business, but he thinks it's a perfect fit for San Francisco. Odidi Gizua, an all-packed 12 standout from UCLA, got drafted third-round 75th overall in 2021. For five seasons with Dallas, he played in 84 games, racking up 216 tackles, 81 quarterback
hits, 17 sacks, two forced pumbles, and one battered pass. This kind of player coachbond is rare, and with Kyle Shanahan's style of showing love to his guys, Odidi Gizua could quickly become a locker room. Favorite as the Niners gear up for a stronger front?
