Emmanuel Ogbah News
The Athletic's Jim Ayello speculates that Miami Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah could be a salary cap casualty this offseason. The Dolphins are sitting at around $51 million over the cap, and cutting Ogbah would net the team around $13.7 million in cap space while costing them just under $4 million in dead money. If they designate him a post-June cut, they could save $15.7 million against the cap this year. The 30-year-old pass-rusher had 5.5 sacks last season and a respectable 13.9 percent pressure rate, he only played 22.2 percent of the team's defensive snaps in 2023 and isn't a player the Dolphins can afford to keep with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's long-term extension looming.
The Miami Dolphins plan to release veteran linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah on Friday, according to a source. The Dolphins signed Ogbah to a four-year, $65 million deal after he had back-to-back nine-sack seasons in 2020 and 2021. The 30-year-old former second-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2016 out of Oklahoma State played in only nine games (three starts) in 2022 and had one sack. In 15 games (one start) in his fourth year in Miami in 2023, Ogbah produced just 20 tackles (seven solo), 5.5 sacks, three tackles for loss, nine QB hits, one interception and a forced fumble. Since entering the NFL in 2016 with Cleveland, Ogbah has 42.5 career sacks in 107 games (71 starts) with the Browns, Chiefs and Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah (triceps) is done for the year. The 28-year-old suffered a torn tricep during Sunday's win over Cleveland and will require season-ending surgery. Ogbah will finish the year with 11 total tackles and one sack, so his absence isn't a significant loss for IDP managers.
