Dolphins to Release Emmanuel Ogbah in Cap Space Move

The Miami Dolphins are releasing defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, saving the team $13.7 million against the 2024 salary cap.

The Dolphins informed Emmanuel Ogbah of his release, ending his four-year tenure with the team and saving Miami $13.7 million in cap space.
Ogbah signed a four-year, $65 million deal in 2022 but has been released two years into the contract, with no more guaranteed money on his deal.
Despite a decrease in playing time under former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, Ogbah recorded five sacks in the 2023 season.
The Dolphins are approximately $38 million over the cap, prompting a series of expected moves to get under the cap before free agency starts on March 13.
Ogbah's release is part of Miami's efforts to manage salary cap challenges, with the NFL setting the 2024 cap at $255.4 million.
