Cowboys' Osa Odighizuwa looks unstoppable in offseason workouts

Osa Odighizuwa looks ready to make the Dallas Cowboys look brilliant for extending him this offseason.

The Dallas Cowboys got their offseason kicked off by signing defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a four-year extension worth $80 million. Odighizuwa more than earned that deal following a breakout campaign in 2024, where he was one of the top interior pass rushers in the NFL.

Looking ahead, Odighizuwa is hoping to continue his growth. He was even in attendance for an offseason workout with Micah Parsons and several other defenders.

These workouts took place on the beach, which might have looked beautiful, but the sand made it tough to run. That didn’t stop Odighizuwa from putting on a clinic.

I believe Osa should earn his first Pro Bowl nomination this year. The defense would really benefit from No. 97 having a big year.

This past season, Odighizuwa had 47 tackles and 4.5 sacks. In four years, he now has 172 tackles and 13.5 sacks.

As impressive as he’s been since Dallas selected him in the 2021 NFL draft, Odighizuwa has yet to make it to the Pro Bowl. His continued growth coupled with new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus’ emphasis on attacking from the interior could be enough for him to finally accomplish that goal.
