Dolphins to Release Pro Bowler Xavien Howard in Cap Space Move

The decision aims to save $18.5 million in cap space, with significant market interest expected for the cornerback.

The Miami Dolphins have announced plans to release four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard, aiming to clear cap space.
Howard's release, designated as a post-June 1 cut, will save the Dolphins $18.5 million in cap space.
Jalen Ramsey, Howard's teammate, expressed discontent with former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, blaming him for not utilizing their full skillset.
Howard is expected to generate significant interest in the free-agent market, with teams like the Houston Texans showing early favoritism.
The NFL's salary cap increase to $255.4 million per club for 2024 has influenced teams' financial decisions, including Howard's release.
