what are your thoughts on this? It would make sense for multiple reasons, I just don't see how they could make it work with their current Cap situation, unless they traded a vet and not just picks (and I would assume Miami wants picks, not vets).
reasons it makes sense:
1. injuries and suspensions this year: Mack out indefinitely. Hill suspended until week 9. Hughes coming off an ACL tear.
2. contracts for next year: I could be wrong, but I believe Mack, Trae, Kearse, Harris are all FA in 2020. Sounds like this Fitzpatrick is versatile so could provide a lot of insurance.
It is intriguing but I just don't see it working with our cap situation.
As a side note, what a disaster in Miami. I get "tanking" and getting rid of aging vets that won't be part of the rebuild. But why dump good young players??? I don't know, maybe they want to hire a new GM in the offseason or something, and want to give him as much flexibility as possible??
