No, the “Dolphins star” in question isn’t DeVante Parker, though he certainly has had plenty of impact on the perception of Patriots DPOY Stephon Gilmore in recent seasons.

As Gilmore’s home stay extends further and further, the braintrust in the Pats front office — as well as fans watching from afar — should pay close attention to what’s going on in Miami between team management and standout CB Xavien Howard.

Howard, just 27 years old, has skipped mandatory minicamp while attempting to renegotiate a deal he signed in May 2019 which makes him, as things stand, the sixth-highest-paid corner in the game at $15.
