Part 2/11:
In a move that signifies a complete overhaul, the Miami Dolphins are shelling out millions in dead money while gutting their roster. The day kicked off with the Dolphins trading Minka Fitzpatrick — a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro safety, drafted 11th overall in 2018 — to the New York Jets for a seventh-round pick. Not just any pick, but a lottery ticket from the Chargers, and in return, Miami agreed to a $40 million, three-year extension for Fitzpatrick with the Jets. This move, while seemingly marginal in value, underscores the Dolphins' intent to shed salary and clear cap space.
