Dolphins offensive line coach Pat Flaherty expressed hi

s desire to see right tackle Ja'Wuan James stay with the team in 2019 and discussions about making that happen should get underway in the near future.James is set to become an unrestricted free agent next month and Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier said at the Scouting Combine on Wednesday that he expects to start talking to the tackle’s camp soon.The 2019 first-round pick has started 62 games for the Dolphins over the last five seasons. The team could use a franchise tag to keep him in Miami Kenny Stills Jersey , although the $15 million or so that would cost may make that an unappealing choice as the Dolphins try to rebuild under Grier and head coach Brian Flores.Grier also addressed cornerback Xavien Howard‘s status on the team. Howard said recently that he’s heard his name in trade rumors, but Grier said he’s confident that Howard will remain with the team. The calendar has moved to December Reshad Jones Jersey , which means it is time for a Miami Dolphins player to be named an AFC Player of the Week. In September, receiver and returner Jakeem Grant was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 1. In October Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , wide receiver Albert Wilson was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 6. In November, punter Matt Haack made the list as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 9. And in December?Xavien Howard has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 13. Against the Buffalo Bills Mike Gesicki Jersey , Howard, who leads the NFL in interceptions this season Jason Sanders Jersey , recorded two more picks. He also finished the game with four tackles and two passes defensed. He has become a shutdown, ball hawking cornerback Raekwon McMillan Jersey , and he is now starting to get recognized for it.Howard has four interceptions in the last two games and seven on the season. He will look to continue his hot streak this week as the Dolphins host the New England Patriots in the second half of their annual home-and-home series. New England beat Miami in Week 4 38-7.
