Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting the Dolphins plan to release edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah today. Ogbah played four seasons in Miami and had 24.5 sacks over that time. He started 27 of 57 games he played in and had one interception during that time period. Emmanuel Ogbah signed a 4 year, $65.4 milion contract with the Miami Dolphins, including a $13 million signing bonus, $32 million guaranteed in 2022. Once Miami went to a 3-4 under Vic Fangio, he was never a scheme fit, and his value to Miami has gone down.
Dolphins plan to release veteran LB Emmanuel Ogbah today, per source.
Miami signed Ogbah to a four-year, $65 million deal after he posted back-to-back nine-sack seasons in 2020 and 2021.

Per source, I can confirm @AdamSchefter’s report that the Dolphins plan to release DE Emmanuel Ogbah. He reset the free agent market in 2022 signing a 4-year, $65 mill dollar deal. Cap cutting move. E is one of my fav people on the fins. #freeagency #finsup pic.twitter.com/BkRLdb9XnK

Mike with the cap going up to 255 is their any chance we can sign Wilkins and Hunt.
They can sign both after they make some more cuts. Just about what their asking price is and if Miami can meet it or if another team can offer them more money. With Wilkins and the franchise tag its tricky, and Wilkins doesn’t have to agree to a long term deal.
