The 2024 season salary cap exceeded expectations, but not enough for outside linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah, who will be released by the Dolphins. This move creates over $13.7 million cap space for the team.

Ogbah had back-to-back nine-sack seasons before signing an extension, but his performance declined with 6.5 sacks over the last two years. The Dolphins have other linebackers signed, with Andrew Van Ginkel set to become a free agent.
