According to Chris Mortensen. Depending on the price tag he's a guy the Giants should be interested in. Only 22 years old. He's got 3 years left on his deal plus his 5th year option. Can play Safety & slob CB.
and you have free reign to see a trade anywhere in the league.
What makes you think he's going to want to go from the worst team in the league to the 2nd or 3rd worst (or 8th or 9th, whatever you think) team in the league?
He's going to do to the Patriots, or the Saints, or the Chiefs or Eagles.
He's not going to push for a trade to the Giants.
the only thing even remotely appealing would be he's from NJ and that only goes so far with the young guys.
Who says he has free reign or controls where he goes?
Beckham was in the league a lot longer than Fitzpatrick has been, had just signed a 2nd deal, and still had zero control over where we sent him.
If they want to trade him, they'll simply take the best offer. He has no say in where he goes.
I only read the headline of this post, but when it says to me "Dolphins give Minkah Fitzpatrick permission to seek a trade" that would indicate to me his agent is reaching out to teams he is interested in playing for and gauging interest and I assume the Dolphins provided the agent loose parameters of what a trade would take.
So then in my mind the agent finds a desirable match, brings it back to the Dolphins and then they work it out.
Different from Beckham in that the Giants shopped him, and dealt him squarely on their terms, they did not to my knowledge give Odell permission to seek a trade.

He can push for whatever team he wants but Miami still makes the decision. Unfortunately with our needs at pass rusher, it doesnt make sense for us to invest a 1st in a CB/Safety when we just invested a bunch in those spots this past draft. We need a pass rusher in the worst way and hopefully our CBs will develop as we had hoped. With Beal hopefully cross your fingers on him, baker, Ballentine and Love we should be OK and keep filling in the rest.
He’s from NJ, of course the Giants will be interested. Â
I mean, yeah - I'm sure they will allow his agent to reach out to a few teams that he'd prefer to play for and gauge interest.
But ultimately, if he's available, they're just going to take the best offer. They don't owe Minkah anything - he's a 2nd year player. He might point them in a few different directions, but that's about all the leverage he'd have here.
Of course it is. It's also total hypocrisy considering one of the players Diver is a huge advocate of has had a parent very present throughout his career. If we were going to avoid all helicopter parents, we'd have needed a new QB a long time ago.

I'm not sure Archie is considered on the same level as Annie and Melissa. Does Archie take to twitter to take subtle jabs at the Giants?

Oh, is Twitter the part that makes it bad? I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you just had a problem with parents of players talking about what management should or should not do or attempting to dictate their offseason strategy through the media.

Haha I think the fact that we both dredged up the same quote is reason enough for me to let it go - I was just busting your balls anyway because I think the Minkah comparison to Apple is a bit unfair, but I'm not as familiar. It sounds like quite a few posters who are more familiar with the Dolphins agree with Fitzpatrick's mom.

His Mom is 1000% right. They haven't had a clue how to use him. The franchise is a mess.
is a great talent who has not been properly developed or utilized by a horrible organization. To think a 3rd is gonna get it done for the 11th overall pick from last year is laughable.
I would give a 2nd, Love and Beal...I think Miami takes it!!!

Apples to oranges. Aside from sharing the same first name, there's not much alike between the 2. While you can get on Archie for working to keep Eli out of SD, he was pretty much a non-factor the rest of Eli's career. At this point EM is quite distinguished and anything Archie says is just background noise.
That's not quite the same as a young, unproven player's family/friends stirring the pot.
It's been written that he's not happy with the way he's been used. Â
His Mom is 1000% right. They haven't had a clue how to use him. The franchise is a mess.
And some of the good franchises find the poor ones who have players who you know have been underutilized by other teams that you know can provide a contribution on yours.
Miami is in that place right now. Unfortunately, I don't feel the Giants front office thinking is progressive enough to take advantage.
I only read the headline of this post, but when it says to me "Dolphins give Minkah Fitzpatrick permission to seek a trade" that would indicate to me his agent is reaching out to teams he is interested in playing for and gauging interest and I assume the Dolphins provided the agent loose parameters of what a trade would take.

Am I assuming too much from the headline?
Depends who leaked the story to the beats. If it's the Dolphins front office, then that's basically an open invitation for all GMs to contact him with their best offer.
Think that if DG and his team think he is an answer here. Â
Abrams can get it done. we have a lot of flexibility $$$ wise coming up, if we think we have ELI's replacement on board in Jones. We want to win now. They will all be looking for jobs if that does not happen.
is one of the best slot corners they have ever scored, in both NFL and NCAA. Given how much the Giants have invested in the corner positions, I don’t think it’s a great idea to give up the draft capital needed to get him.
And a guy that good at slot corner, you don’t play at safety.
This author proposed:
From Pittsburgh to Miami: 2020 second-round pick and fourth-round pick
From Miami to Pittsburgh: Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2020 third-round pick
I think the Giants would have do it. He fits the timeline with his age/contract and it's a crapshoot that they'll find anyone as good as him with their second round pick. I think the Dolphins would have to be pretty interested too if the Giants offer that considering there's a good chance the Giants don't make the playoffs this year. If it's between teams like the Seahawks, Steelers and Giants... you have to take the Giants pick. This team needs more DB talent in the worst way.

Do it
For a second round pick I would do it. Him, Baker, Love, Beal and Peppers could make for one damn good secondary

Just give Miami exactly what they gave up for Rosen since went #10.
is kicking the tires on MFitz. Boys - ( New Window )
So the idea is that Dallas will unload their trash (Taco) and offer a mid to second round pick for Minkah. Most are pegging Dallas to win the Division, but at a minimum making the playoffs so their ceiling in draft collateral is a late 2nd rounder.
Anthony Brown(the slot CB) is going to be an UFA next year.
Dallas also has a lot of talent and depth on the DL. Charlton was a healthy inactive week one causing speculation that Dallas was looking to trade him last week.
According to Chris Mortensen. Depending on the price tag he's a guy the Giants should be interested in. Only 22 years old. He's got 3 years left on his deal plus his 5th year option. Can play Safety & slob CB.

trying to swoop down and take him right out from underneath us just when he was about to sign.
Think Man - why would you want to play in Dallas? Jerry just paid Elliot, Prescott is coming up and then Cooper .... You are going to end up making minimum wage down there.

Ross allowing them to trade Tunsil was bad enough. Fitzpatrick had a solid first year. What a shit show. And honestly if I was whomever they draft at QB next year I’d pull an Elway or Eli. They OL is NCAA level.

Of the 3 premier non QB positions you have LT, CB a d DE.
If they dump Fitzpatrick there 2 of the 3 who are top 10 picks who by all accounts are under contract and solid. Rebuilding you don’t trade away young cost controlled starter level players.
