The Miami Dolphins are reportedly releasing cornerback Xavien Howard after eight seasons with the team where he was one of the most productive players at his position.
After news broke, Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who the team traded for last offseason, shared his reaction on social media, which appeared to include a shot at their former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
Shid be crazy how stuff plays out sometimes but 1 thing ikno fa sho is that it was an honor teaming up with the GREATEST corner in @MiamiDolphins History in my opinion… ❌🔒

Ramsey and Howard are clearly close friends, and that was evident when the two took in a Miami Heat game and toured the facility together after the trade was made last year.
Fangio, for the success that he did have in his lone season with the Dolphins, didn’t allow his cornerbacks to shadow the opponents’ top weapons, which hurt Miami down the stretch.
