Xavien Howard was released by the Miami Dolphins this offseason, allowing the All-Pro cornerback to hit the market at 30 years old. Howard, who played in the fewest games of his career in 2023, could make an impact for a contending team as a veteran. Of the potential landing spots, Zack Cook of SportsGrid predicts the Dallas Cowboys will sign Howard.
Cook questions if Howard can return to being a lockdown corner in 2024, a fair question after allowing the highest completion percentage of his career in seasons he played more than five games in.
Xavien Howard was released by the Miami Dolphins this offseason. Howard’s health was a question mark in 2023, but we know what he’s capable of when he’s on the field.
