Stop the Xavien Howard Rumors | The Philadelphia Eagles Can Not Afford Him | Tone DeShields II | NewsBreak

There have been rumors swirling around superstar cornerback Xavien Howard and his impending departure from the Miami Dolphins. The sad thing is, mainstream media outlets have placed the Philadelphia Eagles as one of the teams who should be looking to acquire his services. The unfortunate reality is, the Philadelphia Eagles simply can not afford him. He recently signed a 5 year deal worth above $75M and would create a $13.5M cap hit for the Eagles. Let's be honest, the Eagles are in no position to recruit Xavien Howard, and in fact, he will be expecting more money from whichever team is willing to leverage everything to get him. The organization hasn't even signed Landon Dickerson yet, and are struggling to entice free agent cornerback, Steven Nelson, to commit to Philadelphia.
