The Miami Dolphins could really use a cornerback, but they won't be adding team legend Xavien Howard. Instead, Howard is signing with the Indianapolis Colts, who the Dolphins face Week 1 of this NFL regular season.

The Indianapolis Colts are signing veteran cornerback and former Miami Dolphins star Xavien Howard, his agent, David Canter of Aura Sports Group, announced Monday. Howard, a two-time All-Pro, will join the Colts on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.

The 32-year-old cornerback was cut by the Miami Dolphins in February 2024 and did not play last year after suffering multiple injuries leading up to his release.
