The Miami Dolphins enter the offseason roughly $45 million over the salary cap — could the front office choose to move on from Xavien Howard after eight seasons with the franchise?

Howard, 30, played the fewest games since 2019 and had just one interception for the second straight season. With a salary cap number floating around $26 million, how realistic is it that Miami can rely on Howard while he takes up more than 10 percent of the salary cap?

The All-Pro cornerback didn't seem interested when asked to take a pay cut — and who could blame him!? That being said, it also indicates that his time in South Florida could be ending.
