Ever since coming to the Pittsburgh Steelers a half-decade ago, Minkah Fitzpatrick cemented himself as one of the best safeties in the NFL. Unfortunately, he started to slip from that pedestal over the last two seasons. That led to the Steelers deciding to trade him in a blockbuster move that helped them acquire Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith. Speaking to the media at minicamp on Wednesday, Mike Tomlin discussed the difficult decision to move on from Fitzpatrick, via The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Chris Adamski on X.
Mike Tomlin called it "very difficult" to trade away Minkah Fitzpatrick.
