Sources: Dolphins ship DB Fitzpatrick to Steelers

The Miami Dolphins are trading DB Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2020 first-round pick, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Both teams will also swap late-round picks in the deal, a source told ESPN.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported last week that the Dolphins granted permission to Fitzpatrick's agent, Joel Segal, to discuss a trade with other teams.

Fitzpatrick, the 11th overall pick in the 2018 draft out of Alabama, was unhappy about playing multiple positions and has been for several weeks, sources told Mortensen.

The 22-year-old declined to discuss the trade talks with reporters Friday, saying he wanted to focus on his role in Miami's Week 2 game against the New England Patriots.
