Dolphins re-sign DE Emmanuel Ogbah

Pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah is returning to the Dolphins, agreeing on Tuesday to a one-year deal to stay in Miami for a fifth consecutive season.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel welcomed Ogbah back in a social media post, one day after an open workout that included free agent Yannick Ngakoue.

Ogbah's contract can be worth up to $5 million, according to ESPN, and comes exactly four months after he was released by the Dolphins in a cap-clearing move.

The Dolphins had a need at the position given Shaquil Barrett's decision to retire. Barrett signed in March but said Saturday he was stepping away from the game.

Ogbah returned from a triceps injury in 2022 to play 15 games in 2023, posting 5.0 sacks and 20 total tackles.

Miami was devastated by injuries at the edge positions last season. Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips and Cameron Goode are all starting training camp on the physically unable to perform list.

Ogbah has 42.5 career sacks since entering the league as a second-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2016.

The Dolphins drafted Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson with the 21st overall pick in April.
