Emmanuel Ogbah’s tenure with the Miami Dolphins isn’t over after all. The pass rusher is re-signing with the team, according to multiple reports, five months after he was released by the Dolphins in February.
Ogbah, 30, first joined Miami as a free agent in 2020 and recorded nine sacks in two seasons with the team. That was enough to earn him a four-year, $65 million extension in 2022, but Ogbah’s production tailed off with the emergence of Jaelan Phillips, the arrival of Bradley Chubb, and the departure of Brian Flores.
With two years left on his deal, the Dolphins released Ogbah earlier this year to save $13.7 million in salary cap space for the 2024 season.
Plans changed for Miami when free agent addition Shaquil Barrett opted to retire just a few months after signing with the Dolphins earlier this year. The team brought free agents Yannick Ngakoue and Ogbah in for workouts Monday and decided to sign the latter.
Ogbah has 42.5 career sacks with 24.5 of those recorded during his four seasons with the Dolphins.
