The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran cornerback Xavien Howard and defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah ahead of the new league year, per multiple reports.
Howard has been a Dolphin since Miami drafted him in 2016, establishing himself as one of the best corners in the league. In eight seasons, Howard totaled 29 interceptions—leading the NFL in that category twice—and earned four Pro Bowl appearances and two All-Pro nods.
Miami signed Howard to a five-year, $75 million contract that started in the 2022 NFL season, and the corner had three years left on his contract. Howard appeared in 13 games for the Dolphins in 2023, recording 45 tackles and just one interception.
