Overview

• The Dolphins and Minkah Fitzpatrick agreed July 27 to rework the safety’s remaining two-year deal, adding a $16.245 million signing bonus by converting part of his salary and unlocking roughly $11 million in cap space.
• Fitzpatrick hired agent Drew Rosenhaus on July 26 to guide negotiations and pursue a multi-year extension with Miami.
• The three-time All-Pro has fully participated in every training camp practice, highlighted by an interception during the first session open to fans.
• At his first media availability since the June trade, Fitzpatrick confirmed he “definitely” wants to remain in Miami long term and praised the locker room’s culture.
• The cap relief from Fitzpatrick’s restructured deal positions the Dolphins to focus on other key extensions, including veteran defensive tackle Zach Sieler.
