Ryan Fitzpatrick knows he’s not the long-term solution in Miami, and he is okay with that.
Less than a week after trading Ryan Tannehill, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was brought to Miami on a two-year-deal in March of 2019.
It’s doubtful that many other veteran quarterbacks would have agreed to join a struggling team, as a placeholder, for two years, as the team attempted a full rebuild in attempt to draft their future franchise quarterback.
