Jerry: Overton replaces Osa

I read an article a few months ago.

Cowboys screwed Osa. Apparently Washington was going to offer him more but the Cowboys pitched Texas tax breaks. Then less than a year later they traded him to one of the highest tax brackets in the country.
Maybe so, but given the money the Cowboys paid Osa while he was here, I am not exactly heartbroken for him.

Then they should have let him walk. They agreed to the contract numbers.

If he isn’t any good as some on this site says, then it shouldn’t be an issue to face him twice a year.

I agree with that article. If that is the way it went down then the Cowboys screwed him over.

He was their starting 3t which is why they signed him. Then they traded for Quinnen Williams who is one of the best 3t's in the league. Osa wanted out and he's too much investment to have as a 4i and backup 3t.
 
No idea what Jerry was thinking using this as a reference. Maybe he had too much JWB after the draft

You have to remember this is the guy that said he wants to get back to the glory hole

Screwed to the tune of a 4 year 80 million dollar contract.

We should all be so screwed over in life.

Then let him walk as opposed to extending him. Let him sign a bigger contract with Washington or whomever and not worry about it. Tie up their cap money.

And be a DT in the NFL and you could be “so screwed over in life”.

You do realize that he had choice in this, yes? He chose to sign the contract. He's getting paid to the terms of what he signed. He's in no way getting screwed.

I still believe that players view it differently than fans. It's a business to them and they understand business decision. Rarely do they take the business part of the game personally. That doesn't mean they always like the business decisions because they may prefer living where they are or have ties to the area, etc., but they know the possibility of moving comes with the job.
 
Osa’s 3.5 sacks will be hard to replace.
He didn't seem to make a lot of splash plays, but I think some of his contributions flew under the radar. His sack numbers obviously not as impressive.

"Osa Odighizuwa has generated 32 pressures when double teamed since the start of 2024, 2nd most in the NFL.Odighizuwa's 9.1% pressure rate on those pass rushes is 3rd highest in that span (min. 200 double teams)."

Our base defense is going to be 4-2-5
We’re going to be very multiple, and will have plenty of 3-4 three down lineman looks. You need someone to play the 5t and the FA from the chargers is the only guy we have that is a true 5t.

Overton can be that and a bit more of a chess piece like a goal-line 4-3 end or slide into 3t in a pinch for example.
