Fitzpatrick’s Inclusion In Ramsey Trade ‘Punched Me In The Gut,’ Bryant McFadden Says

For the first few minutes, there was plenty of elation as the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey via trade Monday morning from the Miami Dolphins. And then, in a matter of moments, that elation turned into frustration and — in some instances, sadness — as All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was sent back to Miami, along with a fifth-round pick in 2027. That package landed Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick, finalizing the blockbuster deal. For former Steelers cornerback and current CBS Sports analyst Bryant McFadden, the trade of Fitzpatrick back to the Dolphins to acquire Ramsey was a gut-punch.
