It was lately discovered the Dolphins have made an offer to maintain Emmanuel Ogbah within the fold. He isn’t the one veteran who may discover himself remaining on Miami’s defensive entrance subsequent season, although.
A standing provide can be in place for Calais Campbell, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald writes. It stays to be seen if Campbell will play in 2025, however he mentioned after the common season ended he would ponder doing so. The Dolphins inked the Hurricanes product to a one-year deal final offseason, and that signing proved to be worthwhile.
Campbell logged a 58% snap share in 2024 and he operated as a key determine alongside the D-line. The 2010s All-Decade Staff member posted 5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, showcasing his disruptive skills in opposition to the run and go even this deep into his profession. Campbell will flip 39 in September, however he may nonetheless present worth to Miami or an group if he chooses to play subsequent yr.
Halfway via the 2024 marketing campaign, a commerce settlement was in place to ship Campbell again to the Ravens (after he performed there from 2020-22). Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel vetoed the deal, although, and Campbell helped Miami stay in postseason rivalry via to Week 18. A state of affairs by which the six-time Professional Bowler was waived to permit him to hitch a playoff group was floated, though that didn’t happen. Now, the Dolphins await a choice from Campbell whereas making different free agent strikes.
Miami ranked ninth in opposition to the run final season, and retaining Campbell may set the group as much as repeat that success in 2025. Within the occasion he had been to show down the Dolphins’ provide and depart in free company, although, discovering a substitute (seemingly via the draft) would develop into a key precedence. With work nonetheless to be achieved to maintain Ogbah in place as a veteran edge rush presence, it will likely be attention-grabbing to see if negotiations will happen within the close to future in Campbell’s case.
