He will be 28 when the new season begins. He hasn’t exactly been healthy outside of last year. He’s making 13m but will ask for 18+.

When you look at this team: no one is over 30. Were a borderline playoff contender. We’re still building something and we’re not quite there yet.

As much as he will make us better I think what he can net us in draft compensation is that much more valuable. It might be time to move on. We can’t have almost 40 million tied to two corners.
 
If we do in fact move on from Howard, I agree this is the time to do it while his value is the highest! I can't foresee him having a better year statistically than last. How much faith do you have in Iggy?
 
Really depends on what we get in return. a 1st and 2nd would be the min I would take.

If it makes you feel better, Miami is now short on cap. Moving X could solve that.

I have been thinking the same thing. I also worry that with his demand for a new contract it could possibly become a distraction. I was just looking at the top 12 ranked draft prospects wondering about how low we could go to trade back. That Caleb Farley guy is ranked about number 10

That's really the key. They need to have a lot of confidence that Iggy can be good. Sure, X's value will never be higher but that's not necessarily a reason to deal him. You need a viable plan for his position.
 
It always comes down to what you can get for him. Would the picks be high in the round? How many of them would there be?

But, in general... yes, it is time to consider moving Howard if the price is right.

Iggy was drafted to be Howard's replacement, but X responded with his best year ever... I'd rather get someone else to bet on him 1) replicating last year and 2) remaining healthy.

Our defensive system is built around the cornerback position. If we want to win it all we’re gonna need elite players and as of right now X is our only elite non-special teams guy. If we were in a tear down situation maybe but as of right now I say hell no

Exactly. Got to love Finheaven. Fans talk about how Miami can't seem to draft/find elite talent. Then when you have an elite player, in his prime, coming off a 10-interception season where he could have easily won defensive player of the year, you trade him?

Listen, all things are on the table for discussion so I'm not dissing the OP. And, X. Howard's contract demands could become problematic. But isn't the team at the point where they can keep talent, especially with Tua on a rookie contract?
