- The New York Jets acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins for a 2026 seventh-round pick on Mar 9, 2026, and will sign him to a three-year extension, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
- With Aaron Glenn calling plays, the Jets aimed to upgrade the secondary after a season without an interception, prompting an aggressive safety market pursuit.
- A three-time All‑Pro, Fitzpatrick had 82 tackles, a forced fumble, two recoveries, and an interception in 2025, sources told ESPN.
- Despite turnover, the Dolphins trade gives Miami more than $10 million in cap space and has Jason Marshall Jr. and Dante Trader under contract for 2026.
- A homecoming for Fitzpatrick, who returns to play at MetLife Stadium near his Old Bridge, New Jersey hometown; this is Miami's second trade of him and reunites him with Brian Duker, Jets defensive coordinator.
