MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores reacted to All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard’s requested trade on Wednesday morning, before his team took the field for its first training camp practice.
“We understand his concerns,” Flores told 560-AM. “Look, X is a great player, good teammate. His teammates love playing with him. I love coaching him. Obviously, we’ve had discussions with him, his representation. I talked to him yesterday. I’ll keep all those conversations between us, including his contract situation.
“I guess the plan is to continue to have discussions on our part, continue to have talks with him and his representation.
