MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins will release cornerback Xavien Howard, his agent David Canter confirmed Friday, as the team looks to shed salary and clear cap space.
All Dolphins was the first to report.
The Dolphins' longest-tenured player, Howard represented a $25.9 million cap hit in 2024. Cutting him after June 1 would save Miami $18.5 million in 2024 while causing roughly $23 million in dead cap over the next two seasons.
Releasing Howard prior to June 1 would save Miami at best $2.8 million with up to $30 million in dead cap in 2024.
