Xavien Howard trade fits: Five potential teams, what Dolphins could get in return, and NFL execs weigh in

For at least the fourth time this year, the best player on an NFL team is unhappy and either wants out or wants drastic change.

The first three were elite quarterbacks -- Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson -- all making $30-plus million per year. The latest is Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, who makes far less than that and hopes a new team can change the dynamic.

Howard's detailed statement on Instagram on Tuesday night highlighting his trade request and unhappiness with his five-year, $75 million deal that's short on guarantees sent shockwaves through the NFL.
