After sitting out the entirety of the team’s mandatory minicamps back in June, Miami Dolphins all-pro cornerback Xavien Howard has officially arrived for day one of the team’s training camp.
Now, Howard reporting to camp probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone. After all, if your ultimate plan is to get more money from a team, choosing to sit out and lose $50,000 each day doesn’t seem like a sound investment.
Furthermore, even if the team isn’t willing to cave to Howard’s contract demands, being on good terms with the franchise that might trade you seems wise.
