Jeff Duncan says, Saints are very interested in bidding for Xavien Howard.

I’m not saying that he isn’t better than Jones, I’m just saying this is the 2nd time (in 3 years) Howard has gone public about wanting a new contract.

I can see the Cowboys playing with that time bomb.
I see your point, but he outplayed his rookie contract and wanted a new deal. He was making pennies at that point. Plus, do you think the Dolphins would’ve just called him into the office and handed him a contract without him saying anything? Next, he signs a contract, only to see the team sign Byron Jones to an enormous contract. A contract that was definitely not earned by his body of work in Dallas. Maybe he just wants to maximize his money now, while he is still in his prime. He is one of the best CBs in the entire league, but he’s not the highest paid CB on his team. It makes no sense actually. Put it this way, if we signed a WR named Sterling Shepard (just throwing a name out) to a $21 million dollar contract. MT greatly outperforms him by a super wide margin, while going against the opposing best CB all season, and is making less. Do you think MT keeps his mouth shut? It’s not a Howard problem, it’s a Dolphins problem. They had no business signing Jones to that contract. I can’t see how they thought that was a good idea!?!? Did they not foresee this as a problem? At what point did they believe that Jones was worth more than their already in house guy? To us, who work every day jobs, sure we will keep our mouths shut with things like this bc we have too much to lose, but these guys are football players. If you have earned the right to ask for a raise, by performing, then by all means, ask for a raise. In fact, rework Jones’ deal and give him some of that pie😆
