Making the case he has outperformed his contract, Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard said in a statement Tuesday night that he has requested a trade.
"I don't feel valued, or respected by the Dolphins," Howard said. "Just like they can take a business-first approach, so can I."
Howard reported to training camp but was frustrated all summer that Miami would not adjust his contract.
In 2018, Howard signed a five-year, $75 million deal that, at the time, made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. But he is due $12 million in non-guaranteed money this year while coming off a 10-interception season that earned him an All-Pro nod.
