The Dallas Cowboys are considering placing a franchise tag on defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa if a long-term deal isn't reached by the March 4 deadline. This tag would secure him a salary of $25.1 million for the 2025 season, based on last year's highest-paid defensive tackles. Odighizuwa recorded 4.5 sacks and 47 tackles last season, showcasing his durability as he has not missed a game in four seasons. The Cowboys last used the franchise tag on Tony Pollard in 2023, who has since left for the Titans. Alongside Odighizuwa, negotiations are ongoing with key players like DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons.
