Cote: Dolphins trading Ramsey & Smith for Fitzpatrick a net loss for Miami | Opinion
Briefly

The recent trade involving Jalen Ramsey and Minkah Fitzpatrick marked a significant moment in NFL history, being the first swap of All-Pro players in over two decades. This trade highlights the Pittsburgh Steelers' commitment to winning immediately by supplying quarterback Aaron Rodgers with vital defensive support. In contrast, the Miami Dolphins' objectives seem less focused as they traded away two starters for only one player, Fitzpatrick, and a draft pick. The Steelers appear to have gained an advantage, as Ramsey has proven to be a superior player compared to Fitzpatrick, making this move a net loss for Miami.
By the simplest math Miami gives up two starters and gets one, a lopsidedness that the Fins' slight edge in the picks swap does not make up for.
Pittsburgh gets the cornerback Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a '27 seventh-round pick. Fast result: Steelers win, Dolphins lose.
