The New York Jets just pulled off a key trade for safety make-of-fits-patrick from the Miami Dolphins. They sent over a 20-26-7th round draft pick in exchange, right before free agency talks heated up. The deal wraps up with a new $30 million dollar contract for Fitzpatrick, but it won't be official until 4 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. This move fills a huge gap for the Jets in their secondary. Last season, they made history as the first NFL team ever to finish without a single interception. Now, Fitzpatrick steps in to boost that unit, especially after they traded away star-corner sauce gardener at the deadline. Fans and analysts see it as a solid pickup for New York, though his age raises some flags. Turning 30 in November, he's shown some ups and downs and coverage lately. Still, he held up well last year Miami with 82 tackles, one sack, and one pick in just 14 games, despite a weak defense around him.

1:02Meanwhile, the Dolphins are signaling a full rebuild. They cut wide receiver Tyree Kill last month, and reports say quarterback to a tag of ILOA could be next. That 7th rounder feels like a low price for a 3 time all pro, pointing to a roster tear down aimed at stocking up on future picks. Earlier this off season, the Jets also grabbed defensive tackle to Vandre Sweat in another deal. Overall, it's a big-grade win for New York chasing turnovers, while Miami earns a B-minus for accelerating their reset. This DNN story is thanks to our sponsor details in the description.
