Colts can sign Emmanuel Ogbah

Unlike the last two players on the list, Emmanuel Ogbah would be the perfect signing for Indianapolis.

At 28 years old, Ogbah is coming off a career year with the Miami Dolphins, recording nine sacks, 9 tackles for loss, 24 quarterback hits, and 12 pass deflections.

In addition to his age, one of the things that makes Ogbah a coveted free agent is his versatility. Ogbah has the build and skillset to rush the passer from the edge or interior.

This allows whatever team he signs with to be able to move him around and use Ogbah in a number of packages.

It’ll serve the Colts well if they were the team he signed with. Indy has the capital to sign Ogbah to a multi-year deal and secure him for the duration of his prime.

He brings a versatility that will improve Indianapolis’ pass rush dramatically. Signing a player like Ogbah this offseason will help the Colts take big strides towards their goal of contending for a championship.
