ESPN thinks the Miami Dolphins will move on from a veteran defender this offseason. 

Aaron Schatz's "big prediction" for the Dolphins this offseason is that the team will cut edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah. 

From ESPN: The Dolphins will cut edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah, who has played a smaller role this season. He didn't play over 40% of the defensive snaps in any game. Cutting Ogbah will save $13.8 million on next year's cap for Miami while leaving just $4 million in dead money behind.

Ogbah, who signed a four-year extension with the Dolphins ahead of the 2022 season, is under contract for two more seasons. 

If Miami designates Ogbah as a post June 1 release, they'd save $15.7 million in cap space while facing a dead cap hit of $2 million in each of the next two seasons. 

Ogbah played in 15 games for the Dolphins this past season, totaling 20 tackles and five sacks.
