Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick said Friday he's trying to avoid letting trade rumors become a distraction ahead of the team's Week 2 game against the AFC East rival New England Patriots.
On Thursday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported the Dolphins gave Fitzpatrick and his agent, Joel Segal, an opportunity to seek potential trade partners, but so far teams have been hesitant because Miami's asking price includes a first-round draft pick.
"It's a little frustration, but I have to shift my focus to what's important," Fitzpatrick said, per Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
