DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins star cornerback Xavien Howard didn't show up for mandatory minicamp meetings Tuesday morning and appears headed toward a holdout as he seeks a new contract.
Coach Brian Flores broached the issue at length Tuesday morning noting he didn't think Howard would be there for minicamp while mentioning "unique" and "renegotiation after one" several times in regards to his contract.
"It's pretty clear this is a contract situation, which we've talked about internally," Flores said. "X is a little bit of a unique situation. He was extended and now we're talking about a potential renegotiation after one year.
