The Miami Dolphins are planning to release veteran linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah, saving around $13.7 million in cap space. Ogbah had signed a four-year, $65 million deal after impressive sack numbers in the past seasons. This move is part of the Dolphins' efforts to manage their salary cap, as they are currently over by approximately $25 million. The team is also expected to release cornerback Xavien Howard, a four-time Pro Bowler, to further address their cap situation.
Chris Grier says Dolphins are leaving the door open for a Xavien Howard return if free agency situation works toward it.

Xavien Howard was an excellent 2nd round pick. One of the best ball hawks in Dolphins history. He had receiver skills and a fearlessness and was born tough and physical. At his best he was a dawg who could be trusted on an island against any receiver. It was a good 8 years.

With the $13.7 million for Emmanuel Ogbah coming off the books right now & should it be, which I would assume is a post June 1 designation in terms of cap savings, $18.5 million will be freed for Miami from Xavien Howard. They are approximately $6M over the cap in theory here
