The Dolphins’ top cornerback has been the most frequently discussed potential trade piece heading into Tuesday. Howard started off the year poor but has played better recently, lowering his passer rating against in the last two weeks from 124.6 to 89.4.
Probably the main reason that Howard has been mentioned is his contract situation. Howard ‘held-in’ this year in training camp before the team adjusted his contract for the season and agreed to revisit in the offseason.
At 28 years old, Howard is still the team’s most talented player at this point, but if he’s going to want more than the $14 million he’s set to get in 2022, and the team isn’t winning, is it worth it?
Asking price: At least two second-round picks
