Miami Dolphins to re-sign DE Emmanuel Ogbah, reach deal with RB Chase Edmonds

The Miami Dolphins have agreed to re-sign defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah and also are added free-agent running back Chase Edmonds to their backfield on Monday.

Ogbah reached agreement on a four-year, $65 million deal that includes $32 million fully guaranteed at signing while Edmonds agreed to a two-year, $12.6 million contract that includes $6.1 million guaranteed, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Ogbah was the Dolphins' priority to re-sign among their own free agents after they used the franchise tag on tight end Mike Gesicki last week.

Edmonds gives the Dolphins a possible feature running back for new head coach Mike McDaniel's offensive attack.

After stints with the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs to begin his career, Ogbah came into his own during the past two seasons with the Dolphins, recording back-to-back nine-sack campaigns.

He won 14.4% of his pass rushes over the past two seasons, the 22nd-best mark of any NFL defensive lineman. His 18 sacks rank fifth of any defensive lineman since he signed with the Dolphins in 2020, and his 48 disruptive dropbacks (sacks, interceptions, batted passes plus passes defended) are the most in the league.

Ogbah is highly effective at the line of scrimmage, batting down 30 passes since 2020; the next-closest defensive lineman in the league during that span has 21.

Edmonds set career highs in 2021 with 592 rushing yards and 116 rushes, which was in addition to his 43 receptions for 311 receiving yards.

Edmonds, a Fordham University product, shared the backfield workload with James Conner and missed five games — four on injured reserve with an ankle injury. He missed the season finale with a rib and toe injury, as well.
