The Miami Dolphins announced seven roster moves on Tuesday, including signing veteran pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah to a one-year deal, who was cut earlier this offseason to save cap space.
The team made several other moves including signing WR Kyric McGowan, placing WR Odell Beckham Jr. and LB David Long Jr. on the active/PUP list, and placing WR Tahj Washington on injured reserve.
The Dolphins also activated RB Salvon Ahmed and S Mark Perry from the non-football injury list.
Ogbah, 30, is a former second-round pick of the Browns in 2016. Cleveland later traded Ogbah to the Chiefs in exchange for S Eric Murray.
Ogbah finished the final year of his four-year, $6.6 million contract and made a base salary of $1,351,314 for the 2019 season. He was an unrestricted free agent in 2020 and signed a two-year, $15 million deal with the Dolphins that included $7.5 million fully guaranteed.
He was set to hit the free-agent market in 2022 before re-signing with the Dolphins on a four-year, $65 million contract that included $32 million guaranteed. He was entering the third year of his deal and was set to earn a base salary of $14,925,000 in 2024 when Miami released him.
In 2023, Ogbah appeared in 15 games and recorded 20 tackles, 5.5 sacks, three tackles for loss, one interception, one forced fumble, and two pass defenses.
