Dallas Cowboys standout defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa agreed to terms on a 4-year, $80 million contract that includes $58 million guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus.

Odighizuwa's agent Sam Leaf Ireifej confirmed the deal to multiple media outlets on Tuesday.

Per NFL Network, the Cowboys intended to place the franchise tag on Odighizuwa prior to the new contract. That would have paid Odighizuwa $25.1 million on a one-year deal.

Odighizuwa, 26, recorded career-high totals in tackles (47) and sacks (4.5) while starting in all 17 games for the third straight season in 2024.

He has 172 tackles, 13.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 67 career games (63 starts) since being selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
