Former Chiefs DE Emmanuel Ogbah Signs 2-Year Deal With Dolphins: Report

Only two days into the start of the new NFL year and the Miami Dolphins are already making some big moves.

The Nigerian-born standout recorded 5.5 sacks for the reigning Super Bowl champions before suffering a pectoral injury in Week 10 that consequently ended his season. He was expected to make a full recovery in time to be attractive for franchises during the free agency period, and it looks like the Dolphins are team that will be paying for his talents.

While Ogbah hasn’t been active since news broke, he joined many other NFL stars Monday in sharing his reaction to the blockbuster trade deal that sent Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for running back David Johnson and draft picks.

Twitter Reacts to Ogbah’s Deal

While Ogbah’s departure won’t be quite as controversial as the Hopkins-Johnson transaction, looks like NFL Twitter nonetheless approves of this move.

The Miami #Dolphins entered free agency with a need at Edge. They tendered Vince Biegel then signed Kyle Van Noy, Emmanuel Ogbah and Shaq Lawson. Very nice.

Quick Emmanuel Ogbah highlight/breakdown. He has good UOH and is disciplined. Plays with good leverage as well. Typical NE type of edge player. Nice scheme fit as well.#MiamiDolphins #NFLFreeAgency #FinsUp pic.twitter.com/gp9xUPQBIL

Emmanuel Ogbah had 5.5 sacks last year across 10 games before suffering from an injury.

He's entering Miami on a small contract that has little to no impact if it doesn't work out. Good signing.

Ogbah’s career in the NFL began with the Cleveland Browns when they selected him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. From there, the former Oklahoma State Cowboy played two seasons with the AFC North squad before joining Patrick Mahomes and company last offseason. The 26-year-old had 12.5 sacks in those three years with the Browns, including 5.5 during his rookie year.
