Jaguars agree to deal with veteran DE Emmanuel Ogbah
The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to a deal with defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah on Sunday.
The Jaguars didn’t divulge terms but ESPN reported the veteran pass rusher landed a one-year deal worth up to $5 million.
Ogbah, 31, has 47.5 career sacks in 123 games (87 starts) over the past nine seasons. He recorded his career best of nine sacks in back-to-back seasons (2020 and 2021) for the Miami Dolphins.
Last season, Ogbah had 49 tackles, five sacks and one forced fumble in 16 games (all starts) in his fifth and final season with Miami.
Ogbah was a second-round pick in 2016 by the Cleveland Browns after playing collegiately at Oklahoma State. He spent three seasons with the Browns and one with the Kansas City Chiefs before joining the Dolphins as a free agent.
Overall, Ogbah has 50 tackles for loss and 112 quarterback hits. He has 317 tackles, nine forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.
Ogbah joins a Jacksonville front line that includes two-time Pro Bowler Josh Hines-Allen (53 career sacks) and 2022 No. 1 overall draft pick Travon Walker (team-high 10.5 sacks last season).
