Getting this deal done avoids the Cowboys needing to use the franchise tag on Odighizuwa, which would’ve been the seventh time in the past eight years they’d done so. The last two players Jerry Jones slapped the tag on were Tony Pollard in 2023 and Dalton Schultz the year before that. Neither would end up signing long-term deals to stay in Dallas.

With the new cap space and one move, the Cowboys can help CeeDee Lamb take his game to the next level. How fun would watching the Cowboys’ offense with another top-tier wide receiver be?
