Emmanuel Ogbah Could Be Cut

9 months ago

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.
