The Miami Dolphins are trading safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. If you feel like you are back in 2019, that would be understandable. During the 2019 season, the Dolphins traded Fitzpatrick to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, after acquiring the three-time First-Team All-Pro selection back from Pittsburgh ahead of the 2025 season, the Dolphins are shipping him off again.<\/p>\n
Miami originally selected Fitzpatrick with the 11th overall pick in 2018. During the 2019 season, they traded him, along with a 2020 fourth-round draft pick and a 2021 seventh-round selection, to the Steelers for a 2020 first-round pick, a 2020 fifth-round pick, and a 2021 sixth-round pick. The 2025 trade saw Miami send cornerback Jalen Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for Fitzpatrick and 2027 fifth-round pick.<\/p>\n
According to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, Fitzpatrick will sign a three-year, $40 million contract with the Jets.<\/p>\n
Fitzpatrick had been set to account for $18.8 million against Miami\u2019s salary cap this year. With the trade, Miami will save about $5.9 million in cap space.<\/p>\n
In 2025, Fitzpatrick started 14 games with Miami, tallying 82 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, seven passes defensed, and one interception.<\/p>\n
The trade cannot become official until the start of the new league year on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Miami Dolphins are trading safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
