The Cowboys continue to make moves on defense early in the negotiating period. Otito Ogbonnia is heading to Dallas on a one-year, $3MM deal, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Ogbonnia just finished playing out his rookie contract with the Chargers. Across his four years in Los Angeles, the former fifth-round pick logged 20 starts. 17 of those came in 2024, a year in which Ogbonnia set a new career high with 37 tackles.
The 25-year-old will join a very crowded defensive front with the Cowboys. Osa Odighizuwa remains in the fold, as does Kenny Clark (whom the team acquired as part of the Micah Parsons blockbuster). Improving along the defensive interior remained a priority through the 2025 season, and Dallas acquired Quinnen Williams at the trade deadline. Further additions have nevertheless been targeted early in the negotiating period.
More to come…

A bigger nose to play behind Kenny Clark. Don’t know much about him but he is listed at 6’4 320 so that should help
