The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers pulled off a trade on Wednesday involving defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa.

"BREAKING: The Cowboys are trading DT Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers, multiple sources tell me," Schultz wrote.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that the Cowboys are getting a third-round pick from the 49ers for Odighizuwa.

The Cowboys' defensive tackle room is stacked, as Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams are the starters, leaving Odighizuwa as the odd man out.

Dallas has been receiving calls on Odighizuwa's availability over the last day, and the 49ers now swoop in and acquire the 27-year-old defensive tackle.

San Francisco has a glaring need at defensive tackle, and Odighizuwa will patch that hole. The UCLA product has played all 17 games for four straight seasons and is a terrific pass rusher from the interior. Odighizuwa has posted 112 quarterback pressures over the last two seasons.
