The Miami Dolphins have signed Minkah Fitzpatrick to a revised contract, adding a $16.245 million signing bonus to the Pro Bowl safety’s deal, agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed to The Athletic.
Prior to the restructure, Fitzpatrick, who was scheduled to receive a base salary of $15.5 million this season, according to spotrac.com, had no guaranteed money left on the remaining two years of his contract, which runs through 2026. No additional years were added. ESPN was first to report the deal.
The Dolphins re-acquired Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth-round draft pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers last month in a trade for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith, along with a 2027 seventh-round draft selection. Fitzpatrick had become one of the NFL’s top and highest-paid safeties in Pittsburgh, with whom he signed a four-year, $72.988 million deal in 2022. The 28-year-old safety recently signed on with Rosenhaus as his agent.
Miami originally drafted Fitzpatrick with the No. 11 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Steelers the following season, where he earned first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. During his six seasons with the Steelers, he was a three-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler.
