Dallas signed defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa before the franchise tag deadline Tuesday and Minnesota declined to give the tag to quarterback Sam Darnold, clearing the way for him to hit the open market next week.

Defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa's agent says the Dallas Cowboys and his client have agreed on an $80 million, four-year contract with $58 million guaranteed.

The AFC came into the season with the lion’s share of the top quarterbacks and Super Bowl contenders led by passers like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow.

Lofty expectations don’t faze Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
