The Miami Dolphins may have already decided to keep 16-year veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in tow for the remainder of his contract this season to backup and mentor rookie starter Tua Tagovailoa.
But that may not stop the Dolphins from at least fielding a phone call or two on Fitzpatrick’s availability at the NFL trade deadline, which is next Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Fitzpatrick may not command a sizeable trade market, although there could be a possible fit for a team desperate for help to finish the season. But several league sources believe the Dolphins would be foolish to deal Fitzpatrick at the trade deadline.
