The Miami Dolphins are set to release veteran pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah to save $13.7 million in cap space, with the potential for even greater savings with a post-June 1 release. Ogbah's production has declined since signing a lucrative deal, and the Dolphins need to create cap space to retain star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Potential landing spots for Ogbah include the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and Dallas Cowboys, where his experience and pass-rushing ability could be valuable.
The Miami Dolphins are expected to release veteran cornerback Xavien Howard and pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah as part of their efforts to get below the salary cap. Howard, a four-time Pro Bowl cornerback, is set to be released at the start of the new league year, while Ogbah, who signed a lucrative contract in 2021, is also being let go due to declining performance and high cap hits.

The Miami Dolphins plan to release veteran defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, which will save them close to $14 million in cap space if done before June 1, and $16 million if designated as a post-June 1 cut. Ogbah, who was signed in 2020 and received a four-year, $65 million extension in 2022, led the team in sacks during the 2021 and 2022 seasons but had his 2022 season cut short due to a torn triceps.
The Miami Dolphins plan to release defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah to free up $13.7 million in cap space, as they are currently over the 2024 cap by more than $38 million. Ogbah's playing time was reduced last season, and with the return of injured edge rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, the Dolphins have opted for this cap-driven move. Ogbah, who had been a productive pass rusher for the team, is unlikely to fetch much on the open market due to his minimal production over the past two years.
The Miami Dolphins plan to release outside linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah, creating over $13.7 million in cap space for the 2024 season. Ogbah's release gives him an early start in finding a new team, as he had a decline in performance after signing a four-year extension with the Dolphins in 2022. The team still has other outside linebackers signed for 2024, with Andrew Van Ginkel set to become a free agent next month.
The Miami Dolphins are releasing defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah to clear over $38 million in cap space, as they work to become compliant with the NFL's 2024 salary cap. Ogbah, who signed a lucrative extension in 2022, saw a decline in playing time due to injury and performance. The move saves the Dolphins $13.71 million but leaves them still over the cap, as they continue to make roster adjustments.
PFF's recent article, '5 NFL defensive players who could be traded during the draft', offers a handful of players to keep an eye on, including Budda Baker, Devin White, Za'Darius Smith, Emmanuel Ogbah, and Chase Young. While some of these players may be attractive trade pieces, their contracts and injury history may make them unattainable for the Seattle Seahawks. However, Ogbah could be an interesting option if the Dolphins were willing to pay roughly 2/3rds of his 2023 salary and were reasonable in their trade demands.
