The Jacksonville Jaguars would likely be the perfect fit for Xavien Howard and the Miami Dolphins could find themselves looking at a deal with them if they opt to move on.

The Jaguars currently have $39 million in cap space which is more than enough to sign Howard to the mega-contract he wants. They were also one of the absolute worst teams in the NFL last year in pass coverage.

The Jaguars are a young team and drafted cornerback Tyson Campbell in round two of last April’s draft but they still need to improve their coverage. This off-season they added Shaquill Griffin formerly with the Seahawks but again, Howard is head and shoulders above what they have on their roster.

Jacksonville also has draft capital and could use running back James Robinson in a trade with Travis Ettienne in the fold. There are options and the Jaguars are no strangers to making deals. Whether or not the two teams could come to a realistic package would be anyone’s guess but that could be said about all the teams on this list.
