Agrees to four-year extension
The Cowboys and Odighizuwa agreed to terms Tuesday on a four-year, $80 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dallas was expected to place the franchise tag on Odighizuwa, but the two sides managed to reach agreeable terms on a long-term deal before that proved necessary. The 27-year-old put together the best season of his career in 2024, with 47 tackles and 4.5 sacks across 17 regular-season appearances. His new deal reportedly includes $58 million guaranteed. For fantasy purposes, Odighizuwa looks slated to repeat as a high-end option in IDP formats that require starters at the defensive tackle position.

Odighizuwa took a step forward in his second NFL season, doubling his sack total from two to four despite seeing a nearly identical snap count to his rookie campaign. The 2021 third-round pick has the motor and explosiveness to get into the backfield more often than his raw measurables suggest, but workload isn't likely to increase in 2023 with first-round pick Mazi Smith joining the Cowboys' defensive tackle group.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get franchise tag
Odighizuwa is close to working out a contract extension with the Cowboys, but the team could place the franchise tag on him if a deal isn't worked out by Tuesday's deadline, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Placing the franchise tag on the defensive tackle would give the two sides more time to hammer out the details on an extension, and it's unlikely Odighizuwa would actually play under the tag in the upcoming campaign. The 2021 third-round pick recorded career highs with 47 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
