@mortreport: The Dolphins have granted permission to DB Minkah Fitzpatrick to seek a trade, according to multiple sources who say Miami's asking price is too high. Dolphins have no comment. Story coming with help from @CameronWolfe

Dolphins just granted him permission to seek a trade

Why would Miami keep Flores after this year? He’s killing that team.

Not sure Minkah is what the Chiefs need. A true corner is in order, not a slot corner/FS type...

Highlights are mostly great tackles on run plays with a couple PBU’s.

Talented player, but if we are going all in on someone, I want it to be a great investment in the passing game.

Yes please. And thank you.

Why do we need another Thornhill?

Fitzpatrick is not being used correctly, he was unhappy with his position before the team decided to tank.

If the Chiefs feel he would be an upgrade, Im in.

I feel like he moves around too much as a DB, I am sure it's frustrating. If they kept him in one spot he could either bulk up or slim down to be more effective.

Wrong question.

Why do we need a 22 year old DB who has proven he can play any position in the secondary at an extremely high level, having been nominated for Def Rookie of the Year, while also having a very affordable rookie contract?

Dolphins DB Minkah Fitzpatrick was granted permission to seek a trade.

It's hardly shocking Miami's 2018 first-rounder sought a way out after playing six different positions this offseason, weak side and strong side linebacker included. Fitzpatrick allowed an airtight 53.4 passer rating in the slot last year but stayed jostling from corner to the front-seven in Miami's season opener as the new regime continued toying with alignments and personnel. A former Thorpe Award recipient as the nation's top defensive back at Alabama, there will be a number of suitors bending over backwards to take on Fitzpatrick's remaining $13.45 million for the next three seasons.

Read this to help understand his frustration. I would be all over this guy if I were Veach.

Stats: Fitzpatrick was the 11th overall pick in the draft last year and would presumably still be highly regarded across the league. He played in all 16 games for Miami last season with 11 starts. He racked up 80 tackles with two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, and had nine passes defended.

All that while being moved around the defense, the more I look the more I like!!
