Dolphins agree to restructure star CB Xavien Howard’s contract
MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins and star cornerback Xavien Howard have reached an agreement on a restructured contract, keeping the All-Pro in Miami and presumably happy after he requested a trade at the start of training camp.
Howard becomes the first player in NFL history to have a deal redone or adjusted with four years left on the contract.
“We were working on it, and we’re excited to have gotten this done,” Dolphins coach Brian Flores said. “We’re just looking forward to continually improving with X and, really, his teammates on a day-to-day basis.”
