RB Jordan Howard has been released, Brian Flores says. It was a "mutual" move, Flores said.

This was in the best interest of both parties, ours and his," Flores says of Howard

No dead money for Miami on this. Dolphins don't need to pay $5 M he would have been paid in 2021 and $5 M cap hit in 2021 also eliminated.

As if it weren’t already obvious that the Dolphins overpaid for running back Jordan Howard this offseason, the 31 other teams have taken a pass on picking up his salary for the rest of the season.

Howard cleared waivers today, making him a free agent.

This offseason the Dolphins signed Howard to a two-year, $9.75 million contract, including $4.75 million guaranteed. Any team claiming him would have had to pay him the $720,000 remaining on this year’s salary, and no one wanted to pay that.
