The Miami Dolphins informed four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard that they will be releasing him, NFL Network reported.
Howard, a four time Pro-Bowler, has led the league in interceptions twice. In 2018 he led the league with seven picks. In 2020 he upped his game, logging 10 picks on his way to becoming the first player in the NFL with double-digit interceptions since 2007.
In total, Howard logged 29 interceptions in his eight seasons in Miami.
