While you make a very valid point. I will be surprised if they cave to his salary demands. If he only had a year or possibly 2 years left on his contract, they would likely renegotiate his contract but with four yearsI disagree. The Dolphin's should do what they are doing. The panicked money rushes to trade away your best draft pick in the last decade. He is not exactly replaceable in our line-up. He wins us games on Sunday. Money is NOT more important than wins. We likely go to the Playoffs with X this season, without him we likely do not. He takes the other teams best receiver 1 on 1 all day. He is a throwback to guys like Revis, get all the wounded parties in one room and figure out how to keep our defense together.
left, I doubt it.
They would then be opening it up for every player who feels like he outplayed his contract to hold out if they don’t get more money. I agree Howard makes the defense better when he is on the field but unless he plays under his present contract in 2021, I suspect they will end up trading him if he holds out once training camp starts.
