Howard, 32, earned four trips to the Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro honors in his eight seasons with the Dolphins. But the veteran's tenure ended with a couple of underwhelming seasons, including his 2023 campaign that was cut short by a foot injury. The Dolphins released Howard in March 2024, saving $18.5 million in cap space in the process.

The Dolphins’ strongest unit appears to be their edge defenders, but they’re looking into signing a four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher as they host him on a visit.

He spent each of his first eight seasons with the Dolphins, becoming one of the league’s top ballhawks over that span.
