As part of Howard’s new contract, the CB had $1 million in Pro Bowl incentives and $3.5 million in additional incentives added to his 2021 year, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. With all minicamp fines rescinded, Howard can make upwards of $16,285,294 in 2021, which would make him the league’s highest-paid CB this upcoming season.
In addition, Howard gets $500K in per-game roster bonuses and $100K in workout bonuses moved to base salary and guaranteed money in 2022. His $12.975 million salary in 2022 is guaranteed for injury and will be fully guaranteed by the first day of league year, Rapoport added; $6.775 million of the CB’s 2022 salary is fully guaranteed at signing.
Howard also received assurances from the club that it will renegotiate a new deal in late February or early March following the 2021 season in line with market based on the cornerback’s health and 2021 performance, Rapoport reported. (From NFL.com)
TDS Take:
I happen to think this is a mistake and the only way it will prove NOT to be a mistake is if Miami wins the SB and as excited as I am as a Dolphins fan I just don’t see Miami winning the SB THIS YEAR! So what if Howard gets hurt, gets into legal trouble again, or just has a bad season? This team is still in rebuild mode and they should have traded Howard and gotten what they could at his highest value point.
There still is a way to correct this and that would be to look to trade Howard sometime at season’s end or the trade deadline this year. But they have opened up a can of worms by not taking care of players who should have received extensions before appeasing Howard and his new agent!

The Dolphin Seer 
Well at least they have added incentives towards him making the extra money.
Not sure exactly where I stand on this, no way he has a repeat performance this year
