The Miami Dolphins are probably holding out hope that Xavien Howard will eventually rejoin the team. However, the cornerback seems intent on sitting out until he gets a restructured contract.
Several teams have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring the services of the 28-year-old amidst the contract dispute.
It is unclear if the New Orleans Saints are among those teams. However, Saints safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson recently implied that Howard could be heading to New Orleans.
Adding Howard could definitely improve the Saints defense. However, the Dolphins have not indicated that their second-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft is on the trading block.
If Miami does decide to deal Howard to another team, it could certainly net a great package in return.
But the Dolphins would still probably be better off finding a way to retain the 2020 All-Pro selection.
Howard has been one of the league’s best defensive players in recent years. Last season, he led the league in interceptions and pass deflections.
