he wont sit out and hold those fines surely.

just have to ride the storm
Yeah but if he feels like they are forcing him to return and play on this same contract it'll ruin his relationship with the organization and he may become a cancer in the locker-room.

Either that or he'll demand a trade and im not sure you'll get as much value for him at this point. He's probably worth 2 2nds and a 4th right now due to age and injury history and the fact that you'll need to give him a new contract. I dont think anyone gives up a 1st rounder for him right now even tho that's what we want

they have control of X thru his prime, 2024

i know he balled out but hes had 2 full seasons and wanted a pay raise after each one. he has no leverage and will eventually report

good to see Baker get paid, liked him as a rookie and hes grown his game each year. turned himself into a 3 down threat

Xavien Howard’s quotes I forgot to post

On Dolphins drafting Noah Igbinoghene in the first round: “it’s a fukking slap in the face

Ok Byron Jones making more than him : “ I’m gonna make them pay double”

this is why I think he’s gone, @SoulController. I’m sure manny will come in here and cry about it once he’s traded. I’m just saying mentally prepare for it so that when it happens we reduce the yapping

i dont get why he even has Noah on his radar. he was drafted to compete for the slot job and just turned 21. X is a strange dude that acts like he doesnt know how the ebb and flows of payment go. free agency brings overpaid contracts, and you cant be the highest paid player at you pos every season

Again this is a quote from January 2021.

that tells me he’s already gone in his mind. He’s checked out already

Noah won’t be slot forever. He can play slot but he’s really an outside corner. Flo and Grier definitely drafted him to be X’s Future replacement, especially since X has had injury concerns. X a strange guy but he aint that dumb, it’s pretty obvious they want him for about a couple more years then give him the :camby: that’s why he’s trying to get more guaranteed money while he still can

Xavien Howard reportedly told the team he wants a new contract making him “ the highest paid player on the team and at the CB position in the league, period. Highest paid average salary on the team at the minimum ”

Apparently that’s after the team proposed to guarantee the remainder of his contract .

Grier/Dolphins - “ okay let’s say we do this for you now and you go and have another 8 or 9 INTs . Say next year when the cap goes up and the market gets reset again by someone else. Will you be asking for us to redo the deal again?

Xavien Howard and his agent - …:jawalrus:


I don’t think there good faith negotiatons going on here if this is true. I know some of y’all cried when we traded Minkah Fitzpatrick and his mom. Telling all y’all to mentally prepare yourself for X to be gone now so those of us that are emotionally stable don’t have to hear your yapping and crying if Grier trades him:ufdup:

X is getting traded :mjcry:
He made it clear that it’s either give him a new deal (again) or trade him.

The Dolphins are not to blame in this one. They have him a deal making him the highest paid corner just 2 years so do we can’t say they don’t take care of their own.

X is not wrong either. The Dolphins have a history of signing players to long-term deals and cutting them after one year or demanding them to restructure. X outplayed his contract and the defense is built around him. He has every right to demand more.

Just going to suck to see him leave.

He just finished year 2 of a 5 year deal. When were the Dolphins gonna cut him as he suggested?

Besides it is well known that in most NFL contracts that the last 2 years of your contract are not guaranteed. That’s for all teams not just the Dolphins. So spare me that “the Dolphins have a history” nonsense. I live in Atlanta and I seen the Falcons do it. Seen the Saints do it. Seen the Panthers do it. Countless other teams. Just because the Dolphins are fresh on your memory with VanNoy doesn’t mean it isn’t the same elsewhere.

Nothing against X but the Dolphins showed him his respect by extending him before his expired and by making him the highest paid CB at the time too. This is not on the Dolphins.
