The Jalen Ramsey bids farewell are anticipated to cut Xavien Howard this offseason, saving the platoon an estimated$18.5 M. What Geno Smith contract restructure means for Seattle
The NFL offseason no way sleeps, and history was no different.
First, the Miami Dolphins cut expert protective end Emmanuel Ogbah, saving the platoon an estimated$ 13 million in 2024. Now, the platoon has reportedly decided on a player that suckers have had the honor of watching since the platoon drafted him in the alternate round of the 2016 draft.
According to several sources, the Dolphins are anticipated to move on from cornerback Xavien Howard this offseason. This move comes a month after Howard raised some eyebrows with his honest comment about whether or not he’d be willing to take a pay cut for a platoon with so numerous opinions to make financially.
Then’s What Howard said Jalen Ramsey bids farewell
The move will probably produce$18.5 million in cap relief for the Dolphins this season, according to Spotrac. That’s assuming the platoon designates Howard as one of the platoon’s two post-June 1 cuts. Doing so would leave the platoon with 7.4 million dead plutocrats in 2024. Howard’s dead cap in 2025 would be$15.699 million.
During his eight seasons with the Dolphins, Howard became one of the most stylish cornerbacks in ballot history, recording 29 interceptions and 95 pass breaks. He also combined for 331 tackles, two sacks, five forced rumbles, and six total touchdowns.
Sure, the jotting was on the wall for Howard, but that still doesn’t make his departure any less easy. After all, at one point, he was one of the many bright spots on Miami’s defense. He suffered through one governance change after another, and this time, under protective fellow Vic Fangio, it was supposed to be different.
And yet, nearly along the way, the bus fell off. Whether it was beforehand in the season with the unfortunate injury to Jalen Ramsey or the many games that Howard missed, effects noway sounded to take off. And despite what some might say, part of that has to do with former protective fellow Vic Fangio.
Then’s what Ramsey said about history on Twitter when bidding farewell to X.
Did you see it? I know you did, and it makes you wonder if we’ll ever know exactly what was going on behind unrestricted doors. We heard rumors that Fangio wouldn’t hear another fellow’s input, and we had players who weren’t happy with how they were employed this season.
Ramsey and Howard could have been so much more, and now we’re only left to wonder what if. But that question will not loiter too long because, with Howard out the door, Miami will need to find a suitable relief — a Joe who can fill the shoes of one of the topmost cornerbacks this ballot has ever seen.
His better days may be behind him, but Xavien Howard is a super stud, and I’m glad I was suitable to watch him play for my favorite platoon.
