Las Vegas Raiders Should Consider Adding Edge Rusher Emmanuel Ogbah, Analyst Suggests

The Las Vegas Raiders still have plenty of cap space to make moves in free agency, and one analyst believes they should target edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah.

ESPN’s Matt Bowen sees the Raiders as the best fit for Ogbah, who logged five sacks with the Miami Dolphins last season. With Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce already on the roster, adding Ogbah would provide depth and versatility to the defensive line.

While cornerback may be a more pressing need for the Raiders, Ogbah’s proven impact as a pass rusher could further strengthen their defense. With the AFC West featuring quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, having a strong pass rush is crucial.

Ogbah, who has totaled 42 sacks over his eight-year career, could provide a reliable rotational option behind Crosby and Koonce. His ability to play inside or on the edge would give the Raiders flexibility in different defensive packages.

Ultimately, adding Ogbah would give the Raiders another weapon on defense and help solidify an already impressive defensive line. Stay tuned to see if the Raiders make a move for the veteran edge rusher in the coming weeks.
