Emmanuel Ogbah

The Dolphins plan to release veteran Emmanuel Ogbah.

Fantasy Impact

Ogbah signed a four-year, $65 million deal with the Dolphins two years ago that included an opt-out after the 2023 season. It opens up $13.7 million in cap space for Miami. He shouldn't have any issues finding a new team in free agency.

Emmanuel Ogbah is playing inside some during training camp as the Dolphins continue to search for interior defensive lineman to step up, per defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

Fantasy Impact

Ogbah traditionally has played as an end, but could see time inside as well in Fangio’s new scheme. The 29-year-old has played well in his three years in Miami, tallying four forced fumble, 19 sacks, and 70 tackles in 42 games.

Emmanuel Ogbah has agreed to a four-year, $65 million deal with the Dolphins.

The veteran DE will have $32 million fully guaranteed at signing. He will return to Miami for his third season and seventh year overall. In his time in South Florida, he has tallied 18 sacks, 83 tackles, and four forced fumbles.

According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins plan to make a “significant effort” in re-signing Emmanuel Ogbah.

Fantasy Impact

After recording a breakout season in which the veteran recorded 26 solo tackles, 15 assists, 9.0 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery in 17 games, the Dolphins have continued to make the veteran a "top-priority." News dropped Monday that the team will not franchise Ogbah ahead of Tuesday's franchise tag deadline.

Adam Schefter on Twitter is reporting that Rosenhaus Sports told ESPN that Emmanuel Ogbah signed a 2-year deal with the Miami Dolphins worth $15M with $7.5M fully guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

Ogbah had 32 combined tackles and 5.5 sacks last season for the Chiefs. The Dolphins ranked 27th versus the run last year and Ogbah will help shore up the run defense. The Dolphins are splurging on defense this off-season in free agency as they have already signed Shaq Lawson, Bryon Jones, and Kyle Van Noy.
