Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard has requested a trade, saying the Fins haven't dealt with him in "good faith" regarding his desire to restructure his contract.
ESPN's Adam Schefter relayed Howard's Instagram message via Twitter on Tuesday:
The Dolphins and Howard agreed to a five-year, $75.25 million extension in May 2019, but he's outperformed that deal.
Howard is arguably the NFL's best cornerback. He landed on Pro Football Focus' All-Pro team for the 2020 season, and PFF's Sam Monson wrote the following on the 28-year-old's season:
"Xavien Howard finished with a league-leading interception total of 10 picks, but it was his down-to-down coverage that was truly more impressive this season.
