On one side, the Houston Texans are a contender right now, but have some significant holes, specifically at cornerback. On the other hand, the Miami Dolphins are in a clear rebuild mode and have a young cornerback in Xavien Howard that wants to be paid bigtime, which might not fit their timeline, which has stirred some trade rumors. Cameron Wolfe of ESPN wrote of how Howard is aware of the possibility of him being traded due to the business nature of the game.
Howard is a Houston native (Wheatley High School), Baylor graduate, and 2019 Pro Bowl starter.
