Salary Cap Solutions: Miami Plans to Move On From Xavien Howard and Emmanuel Ogbah
Listen now
Description
The NFL announced an "unprecedented" salary cap increase for the 2024 season late last week. While most salary cap experts expected the cap to sit around $240, it was announced to be $255.4 million for next season. The Dolphins began the day $50 million over the cap. They later announced that Emmanuel Ogbah would be cut, saving the team roughly $10 million in cap space — dropping that number to about $30 million. News also broke late last week that the Dolphins are planning to move on from Xavien Howard as a post-June 1 roster cut, saving the team roughly $18.5 million against the cap. Howard, a 2016 second-round draft pick, was a two-time All-Pro in South Florida and led the league in interceptions — twice! We travel down memory lane to explore Howard's time with the Dolphins.
