After Shaquil Barrett surprised with an unexpected retirement on July 20, the Dolphins turned around quickly to find a replacement option on the edge. Miami will be without Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) and Bradley Chubb (ACL) to start the season and need veteran bodies on the edge so they won't have to rely as heavily on rookies Chop Robinson and Mo Kamara. Ogbah played 57 games in Miami from 2020-2023 before being released on Feb. 23, 2024.

Ogbah signed a four-year, $65 million deal with the Dolphins two years ago that included an opt-out after the 2023 season. It opens up $13.7 million in cap space for Miami. He shouldn't have any issues finding a new team in free agency.
