Would the Saints be a good fit for Minkah Fitzpatrick if available?

The Dolphins, for some unexplained reason, were playing him as sort of an in the box safety in week one rather than at slot corner which he graded out as the best in the league last year. If he's one of several players wanting out with the team appearing to want to blow the entire thing up then the Saints should definitely look into it.

He’s a versatile player who can play anywhere on the field, but he’s at his best when defending the slot. In 2018, Fitzpatrick had the NFL’s best passer rating when playing slot corner (49.7), which he played 40% of the time. He spent the rest of his time at the boundary corner spot (30%), free safety (17%), and strong safety (3%), leading the Dolphins in defensive snaps played (944). He was the only player to get more time than linebacker Kiko Alonso, who the Saints acquired from the Dolphins earlier this month.
But Dolphins coaches pulled him and several other starters during their Week 1 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He recorded 49 snaps against Baltimore and played in the slot on only 12 of them, and his coaches wouldn’t answer why they misused him. Dolphins defensive coordinator Patrick Graham would only reply, “We tried to do what was best for the team and deploy players in the right spots.”

we already have like 3 slot guys on roster. CJGJ/PJ/Prob.

I'd be game for sure. We could use him.

We'd have to trade PJ or P. Rob to make room.

And probably pay him in the next 2 years. We already have a quite a few guys that we will have to resign soon or make a decision to let walk.

He was just drafted last year and he would have a 5th year option, so the main guys coming due like Kamara, Ram, and Lattimore should already have their deals done and Drew would be off the books by then.

Probably not. The Dolphins aren’t going to move on from him THAT early. Plus, CGJ, PRob and PJ are all slot guys.
If we make any trades it will likely be for a WR or a nice backup OT. That’s really our only holes. We are loaded at D.L. and with the trade for Alonso, the return of Robertson and Klein’s improved play, LB is pretty much shored up. TE, RB and the secondary have good depth. The only improvement that could really be made is a Nick Easton caliber player at Tackle and another WR
I don’t think we NEED any of those, yet. As long as Ginn stays healthy and we get Cook more involved we won’t really need another WR but I’d still like to see us make a play for a vet like Emmanuel Sanders later in the year

So trade a lesser player in order to add a better player in his place? Oh no, the horror!

Don't want anyone on defense named Minka

Miami officially making Minkah available.
The Dolphins have granted permission to DB Minkah Fitzpatrick to seek a trade, per @mortreport.

I'd be down for this pick up.

I’d trade players but not draft choices!
Posted on 9/13/19 at 12:40 am to Blackfield
Curious to see what they're asking for him.
Posted on 9/13/19 at 3:31 am to Northshore Saint
They want a 1st 2020. They ain't getting that from us lol. Then again...
Posted on 9/13/19 at 4:31 am to southsidedell
Even if we did trade for Fitzpatrick, Allen wouldn't play him to his strengths
Posted on 9/13/19 at 5:28 am to WicKed WayZ
They are moving on from him. They granted him permission to look for a trade but apparently they are asking for a LOT.

So you guys want him because our secondary is suspect, yet the Dolphins just made Lamar Jackson look like Peyton Manning and got burnt badly by a rookie receiver? Hmm okay then.

That was a team loss. One player ain't gonna keep that disaster from stopping.
