Is A Xavien Howard Agreement Imminent?

By: Chip Turner and PhinManiacs Staff

​The Summer Sun is shining, and even the most recalcitrant of Dolphins reporters are positively gushing over the Miami offense in training camp thus far. Only one piece of the offseason puzzle remains unresolved, and now we’ve heard that last bit of business is headed toward a resolution.

?Xavien Howard Report?

Not saying I heard/I was told but kick over rocks & underneath the bedrock sometimes there is gold. On Saturday it seems as if multiple members of Xavien Howard’s camp were in attendance at Baptist Health Training Complex. This tells me they’re close.

Soon.
 
Based on a few indicators and intel we’ve heard, Xavien Howard’s camp and the Miami Dolphins are close to coming to terms on a contract that will keep the All-Pro cornerback patrolling the secondary for the foreseeable future.
 
You know those “sources” that we’ve poked fun at in the past, referencing times that some media outlets are quite simply making things up? This is not one of those times. Brian Flores wants to keep Xavien Howard on the team, Howard’s camp is open to patching things up, and he appears to be leaning toward keeping his family in Miami if possible.
 
And if this does proceed as anticipated, that last piece of the Miami Dolphins 2021 puzzle will fall into place.
