Nine-year veteran pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah has something to prove after being cut by the Miami Dolphins last February, and he's off to a great start.
said he chose to return to the Miami Dolphins on the eve of training camp because of "unfinished business" to tend to, one believes the 6-foot-4, 275-pound hulking, soft-spoken Nigerian.
"I came in with a mindset, I want to be better," Ogbah said. "I want to improve this team, so that's the mindset coming into training camp. I had all the time in the world to get ready, mentally prepare, physically prepare, just to get ready for this season. I didn't know where I was going to be, but I'm just happy to be here.
However, after nine games, a torn triceps muscle ended his 2022 season, and he saw his snaps drop dramatically in a rotational role while healing last year. The Dolphins didn't re-sign the pass-rushing free-agent duo of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel , but they brought in 37-year-old, six-time Pro Bowl defensive end, but the 31-year-old ex-Buc shockingly retired four days before camp opened, leaving $6.75 million on the table.The local call went to Ogbah, who lives in nearby Davie, so they signed him to a one-year deal at a reported $3.1 million with $2 million guaranteed.
Ogbah enjoys the versatile freedom of first-year Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver's schemes.
