The Miami Dolphins have agreed to a reworked contract with safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, which adds a $16.435 million signing bonus, saving the team $11 million against this year’s salary cap.
Fitzpatrick signed a four-year, $73.6 million extension with the Steelers in 2022, making him the league's highest-paid safety, and still hopes to sign an extension with Miami.
The Dolphins drafted Fitzpatrick in 2018 with the 11th overall pick but traded him to the Steelers due to a dispute with then-coach Brian Flores, prior to his six successful seasons in Pittsburgh.
Fitzpatrick has joined a Dolphins secondary that replaces four of its five starters from the previous season and recorded the team’s first interception of training camp.
