The Dallas Cowboys may have made an $80 million mistake by signing defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a four-year deal. While he was a consistent pressure-generator, he never converted that into high sack numbers, a red flag some overlooked.
Now, after trading star edge rusher Micah Parsons, Odighizuwa’s performance has plummeted to his worst since his rookie year. Through eight games, he has only one sack and poor grades in both pass rush and run defense.
With the Cowboys’ defense in disarray, the team is not seeing a proper return on its major investment, raising questions about whether Odighizuwa was a product of Parsons’ dominance or is simply underperforming.
