Miami Dolphins bringing in these edge rushers after Shaq Barrett stunner

The Miami Dolphins are moving quickly to line up a replacement for retiring edge rusher Shaquil Barrett.

Miami will host free agent pass rushers on Monday, including former Dolphin Emmanuel Ogbah and former Jaguar Yannick Ngakoue, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus.

Rosenhaus, who represents all three of the aforementioned players, said on WSVN late Sunday night he was surprised to learn Barrett was retiring on the eve of training camp.
