So I've come around to the idea that we might need to address the CB situation sooner rather than later.

In that vein, I was wondering what we think of S Minkah Fitzpatrick of the Miami Dolphins.

6' 1" 200 lbs.

2018 stats
80 tackles
9 pass defended
2 INTs

I know, he's listed as a safety. But last year, out of 1,000 snaps played, he actually played over the slot and on the boundary in nearly 700 snaps. And when he was targeted, he allowed just a 51% completion rate, and a QB rating of only 49%. Okay, 49.7%.

And while he's still got 3 years to go on his contract, he looks cheap, at about 3-4 million/year.

Maybe a solid possibility?

With Fitzpatrick showing consistent elite quality upside already as a rookie and being cost controlled at dirt cheap, he’s easily the top option out there at CB.

Howard isn’t available and if he were, he would cost multiple first rounders.

Peterson isn’t going to give you more than 2-3 years of top play and would cost significantly more to the cap.

I hope we’re one of the teams involved.

I’d be pretty excited to add him to our secondary.

Despite it being listed by some, I am hearing the Dolphins are 99% likely to trade Minkah Fitzpatrick. A lot of interest coming from teams in the AFC West, Steelers and despite hearing them rumors the Cowboys have fallen out of the race, don’t count Jerry Jones out

There’s no way the Dolphins want Reggie Ragland. Just no.

Who the **** is that?

BryanBusby · 09-15-2019, 10:10 PM

AFC West huh?

I don't think it would be Denver. 0-2 and I think the secondary is a ways down the list of problems in that shit hole. Whatever pick they would surrender would be high.

The Raiders have an extra 1 from Chicago, but are sans a 2 that they have to send back. You could make a case here, and the Raiders made some aggressive moves this year. I don't know if I see playoffs with them, though.

Chargers make sense. King, Hayward and Fitzpatrick would be a phenomenal secondary when they get Derwin James back from the foot aids.

Not really a pressing need, but would be a good boost. The Dolphins would probably be willing to pack in Drake if it meant a one in return and they would have more incentive to shop Gordon for whatever the **** offer they can get.

Well, if they really are interested in tanking.....

Worked out terribly for them. Doesn't change the fact that they still played him and other teams still play players they might trade.

Yeah, Chargers make a lot of sense. Today’s loss to Detroit amps up the urgency for them.
I’d welcome Fitzpatrick, but shudder at the price.

**BossChief** · 09-15-2019, 11:55 PM

I still don’t understand why some think getting a guy that

Was drafted 11th overall 1 year ago
Lived up to his draft slot
Plays a position we have need at
Is as cheap as it gets
Is very young

Why wouldn’t we trade for him, again?

Maybe because it’s a possibility that he’s not a full time outside corner, which is what we really need?

Damn I hope you weirdos are right.

Buckweath · 09-16-2019, 05:47 AM

I'd be all for trading for Fitzpatrick but you have to seriously consider whether you want to resign Fuller or not before you do that. Plus, you might still need to trade for PP or another decent outside corner.

Yeah, thinking twice, you likely cannot trade for 2 CBs this season so I dont know.

I think PP is perfect for this team taking into account everything. Will he be available? That's the question.
