49ers’ Osa Odighizuwa, now finally over the Cowboys, is embracing his new team ⤵️ https://t.co/Lo1Ph2jEDn via @NYTimes

What happened: Defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, who moved from Dallas to San Francisco this offseason, says he is finally past his departure from the Cowboys and is embracing his new team. The comments came in a feature on his transition to the 49ers.

Why it matters: Odighizuwa adds interior pressure to a San Francisco defensive front still reshaping its depth, and his settled mindset matters for a unit counting on him in 2026. His old-team comments also keep the Cowboys-49ers thread alive, a storyline that has followed him since the move.

What to watch: Watch how Odighizuwa factors into the 49ers' rotation through the summer, and whether the eventual Cowboys matchup carries extra edge given his history. He has already pointed to that game as one circled on his calendar.
