The Indianapolis Colts have reached a one-year agreement worth as much as $5 million with cornerback Xavien Howard, according to his agent. The 31-year-old spent his entire eight-season career with the Miami Dolphins, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections before injuries kept him off the field after 2023. Howard is expected to debut for Indianapolis in Week 1—against Miami—fortifying a secondary that ranked 23rd against the pass last season. Miami quickly bolstered its own defense, striking a one-year deal valued at up to $6 million with veteran edge rusher Matthew Judon following a workout at team headquarters, multiple reports said. The 33-year-old four-time Pro Bowler owns 72 career sacks, including 5.5 with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024 after a torn biceps curtailed his 2023 campaign in New England. Judon joins a rotation featuring Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips and 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson, providing insurance as Chubb and Phillips return from knee injuries. The twin moves highlight the late-preseason roster reshuffling across the NFL. With the Dolphins hosting the Colts in the season opener, Howard will quickly face his former club while Judon’s impact on Miami’s revamped pass rush will get an immediate test.
