Dolphins to release 4-time Pro Bowl CB Xavier Howard

Not a shock. He will be 31 this season, and he would have been the second highest paid CB in the league in 2024 at $18.5m (behind his teammate, Jalen Ramsey). He had $36.5m guaranteed in his contract, and he’s out the door after earning $37.5m. I can understand why these guys fight so hard for guaranteed dollars.
