Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard had three years left on his contract. He no longer does.
The Dolphins and Howard have ripped it up and replaced it with a new five-year contract. His agent, David Canter, announced the deal.
Via multiple reports, the deal includes $50,691,177 in new money. Already due to make $38.622 million over the next three years, Howard is now due to earn $89.313 million over the next five years. That’s an average of $17.86 million per year.
Howard hasn’t been happy with his second contract for a while. The Dolphins had resisted making major changes to it. It’s rare for any team to tear up a second contract with three years left.
Then again, Howard’s prior deal was always team friendly. And when he became a much better player after signing it in 2019, it became obvious that a new deal was needed. Three seasons later, he got one.
