Emmanuel Ogbah had interest elsewhere including from the Chiefs, per source, but returns back to Dolphins where he had 24.5 sacks in last 4 seasons in Miami.

Dolphins change in DC to Anthony Weaver should provide a better fit and more opportunities for Ogbah. https://t.co/iNOKj1xvJc

Not sure if any smoke here or no?

Ogbah evidently wasn't that guy.

If you're looking at a stop-gap pass rusher to be the guy that pushes your 5th DE off the roster, that guy's gonna have to be someone who doesn't think he has a better path to snaps somewhere else.

Rasheem Green might be kinda interesting and seems to fit a Spags mold well.

I'd say all the FA pass rushers at this point are looking at that anywhere though, no?

Most, certainly.

Just evidently not Ogbah.

I'd be most intrigued by Carl Lawson, I think. I'd need to know more about what happened in 2023 but in 2022 he was still a viable starting caliber DE and at 29 he may still have another season or two left in the tank.

Lawson would be my choice as well. He kinda brings something we don't have but to be fair, that doesn't seem like something they value.

Expound.

I mean they drafted Karlaftis AND FAU. Those guys are clearly very different players. They paid for Danna, who represents something of a middle ground between the two.

It seems at this point, perhaps through Cullen's influence, they value just about any type of player that can contribute. Styles are less dispositive for them (or perhaps they're leaning into complementary skill sets).

I mean, unless your name is Clowney. Then they have no use for you at all.

Just a pure speed guy.

They've never seemed to really be interested in that.

And really, it applies pretty much everywhere at this point, doesn't it?

WR -- They drafted Rice, Worthy and Moore - three guys who couldn't be much different stylistically. At CB they drafted McDuffie and Williams/Watson. At S they've drafted Cook and Conner. At LB they drafted Bolton and Gay while paying for Tranquill.

I think we're starting to get beyond type for this team. If they think you can play, they'll bring you in and adapt to your skill set. They won't always be right (Moore, for instance, can't play), but they don't seem married to a specific decision lens at this point.

FAU is absolutely a guy who's going to be a speed rusher or a non-factor. BJ Thompson was certainly that sort of acquisition as well.

True.

Although the hope is he ends up more than just that.

You can never have enough pass rushers.

This.

They're going to bring in a vet. Just not for what Ogbah received from the Phins.
