Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick Predicted to Be Team's Biggest Bust originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

As ESPN noted, Fitzpatrick has been on a steady decline the last two seasons. He was ranked No. 1 in 2023, fell to No. 4 in 2024, and now finds himself at No. 9. This dip in production, paired with his salary, is a big reason the Steelers felt like it was time to move on from Fitzpatrick and bring in cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Minkah Fitzpatrick comes in at #9 in ESPN’s ranking of the top safeties in the NFL. Interestingly enough, he ranks just ahead of former Dolphins safeties Jevon Holland (now with the New York Giants) and Brandon Jones (now with the Denver Broncos ).

Ben Roethlisberger isn't holding back. The former Steelers quarterback voiced serious concerns about Pittsburgh's bold offseason moves, questioning whether trading away a defensive leader like Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Mike Florio recently hinted at potential issues between the Steelers and Minkah Fitzpatrick that may have led to last week’s blockbuster trade.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a lot of big, bold moves that have completely reshaped their roster from top to bottom this offseason. It’s clear that the front office is not holding back, and the changes may be far from over.

Our friends over at BreakingT Co have released a new shirt this week as Fitzpatrick returns to Miami, bringing his own brand of Fitzmagic with him.
