Emmanuel Ogbah won’t be the only pass rusher auditioning for a contract with the Miami Dolphins on Monday. According to agent Drew Rosenhaus, his client Yannick Ngakoue will also be at the team’s facility in hopes of filling Shaquil Barrett’s spot on the roster.
Ngakoue, 29, has been a pass rushing mercenary who has been on six different teams since 2019. He burst on to the scene with the Jacksonville Jaguars, racking up 37.5 sacks and a trip to the Pro Bowl in his first four seasons. Since then, he’s tallied another 31.5 sacks in stints with the Vikings, Ravens, Raiders, Colts, and Bears over the last four years.
While run defense has never been a strength for Ngakoue, he’s started 115 of the 123 games he’s played in his career.
The Dolphins may be in need of a short-term starter with Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips set to begin training camp on the PUP list after season-ending injuries in 2023.
