The Miami Dolphins and CB Xavien Howard agreed to terms on a restructured contract Sunday, Aug. 8, according to the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. He had $1 million in Pro Bowl incentives and $3.5 million in additional incentives added to his 2021 year, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Howard also had all minicamp fines rescinded, meaning he could make upwards of $16,285,294 this season, which would make him the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback this year. For the 2022 season, Howard will receive $500,000 in per-game roster bonuses and $100,000 in workout bonuses converted to base salary and guaranteed money. His $12.975 million salary for 2022 is guaranteed for injury and becomes fully guaranteed by the first day of the league year, with $6.775 million of Howard’s 2022 salary fully guaranteed at signing.
