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

They seem to be Micah Hyde-ing him.

Doug Farrar:

It sounds like he wants out because he is being forced to play multiple positions

I don’t think he would be happy in green bay

Plus there’s the whole thing with no Alabama player other then ILBers ever living up to the hype

Sort of. He was fine last year. But this year, they imported a bunch of Patriots for the matchup zone D.

PFT:

Fitzpatrick has been unhappy with his current role in the Dolphins defense, which has seen him shuffled from position to position. Additionally, he played on just 48 of Miami’s 77 defensive snaps against Baltimore last weekend.

It actually sounds like he wants out because Miami is a complete train wreck.

Deadspin:

Harder to understand is that Fitzpatrick was only on the field for 49 of 77 defensive snaps on Sunday, ninth-most on the team. It’s one thing to use a player out of his preferred role, and another altogether to just...not use him. If you wanted to be suspicious about this, you could also point to the Dolphins’ curious under-usage of some other key players in Week 1, and wonder if this tank job isn’t only being prosecuted by the front office.

I can't find it. But basically, with Flores hire and D change, they brought in a bunch of scrubs to play because the know the defense from NE. And that has cost him snaps.

However, he did get quoted saying he was being misplayed at strong safety and, I am guessing, near the LOS. So could be Josh Jones situation.

But genius part is, he would make an excellent slot cover guy AND deep safety. Plus being able to fill in the box.

Hed be a nice piece for us with Tramon moving on at some point soon. But more of a luxury because it would be hard to get him on the field in traditional base. And then some snaps he’d be almost like a linebacker in nickel vs 21 or 12 personnel. Against 11 personnel he’d be a good nickel fit. In dime he’d be a perfect fit.

[gbgary]

saw he's a FS. we've got that position covered for several years. now if he's a true CB maybe trading king for him would work for the Packers.

They have any good, egotistical WR to trade?

He was a top 11 pick and had a pretty good rookie year. I think if you can land him for a 2nd its worth it. As JH said, Tramon is nearing the end and King is only healthy for all of a half games worth of snaps so far. I think winning cures a lot of ills and he would be a good fit at a bargain price. You won't land a player of his talent in the 2nd next year so its a no brainer if he can be had for that.

Fritz would certainly be a titanic upgrade over Raven Greene.

A 1st for Fritz and Amendola. Wait, Amendola is with the Lions now? Fuck!

[texaspackerbacker]

I'll just settle for Tony Brown and keep whatever Miami wants in trade.

I see that my value to this board is recognized; however, I'd like to finish my career here.

I really don't know Fitzpatrick, but if he could play the slot and be a third safety, that could be worth a second rounder. Guy's still on his rookie contract, so you'd have young, developing talent on the cheap for what, nearly three years?

That way, when King gets hurt, you could shift Tramon outside and still have some depth.

But like I said, I don't really know much about Minkah Fitzpatrick. I'm interested in what others have to say.
