Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah is set to be a free agent this upcoming offseason.
So what might his next contract look like, and will the Jaguars re-sign him?
According to Spotrac, Ogbah is projected to earn a one-year deal in free agency worth $2.41 million. He will be entering his age 32 season.
In terms of player age, contract status, and statistical production, Jihad Ward, Bud Dupre, and Jerry Hughes were used by Spotrac as comparisons to determine what Ogbah's deal could be.
The addition of Ogbah added some needed veteran depth to the defensive end position. He was also familiar with Anthony Campanile from their time together in Miami.
Through the first half of the year, Ogbah was a regular member of the Jaguars' defensive end rotation. However, as the season progressed, his role was significantly reduced as Danny Striggow and BJ Green earned more opportunities. This includes being a healthy scratch on a few occasions.
Ogbah finished the season with 16 quarterback pressures, one sack, and 13 tackles, according to PFF.
At this contract projection, perhaps there's a path back to Jacksonville, given that defensive end depth is a big need. However, considering that Ogbah's role was quite minimal by season's end, I would guess that the Jaguars go in a different direction when addressing this position.
