Ranking Eagles EDGE targets in NFL free agency pool that make sense
59. . . . Emmanuel Ogbah, Dolphins. 2. player
Somehow, Emmanuel Ogbah has flown below the Eagles’ radar.
Even though they have one of the most loyal fan bases in all of sports and play in one of our great country’s most beautiful cities, the Miami Dolphins often have a hard time luring free agents to play there, and many of the players on their roster tend to get ignored by much of the national media.
Oh, we get it! Losing records in nine of the past 15 NFL seasons (and two more seasons when the team had to fight to get to .500) will do that for you. The Fins have some ballers though, as evidenced by the 10-6 mark and 9-8 records they posted in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Emmanuel Ogbah is one of those guys that hasn’t gotten his due. He’s a Super Bowl champion (LIV), but despite 237 total tackles, 36 sacks, including nine in each of the past two seasons, seven forced fumbles, and 37 pass breakups, he’s never been voted to the Pro Bowl.
Make no mistake about it. He’s on this list for several reasons. Guys like Jadeveon Clowney get more attention, but Clowney, despite being seen as this great pass rusher, is a better run defender.
Ogbah possesses more versatility, He’s also slightly more durable. Add his name to your wish list if you haven’t already. You won’t be disappointed if you do.
