A lot of young players feel like they have to play hero ball so that their team will win. The truth is that things are more about them than about the team. I feel that Drake and Minkah were both traded for similar reasons. I think it was part of the reason Stills was added in the Tunsil trade. Flores came in and cleaned house on any of the guys who didn’t buy in.
Agreed, but it doesnt change the fact he was kind of a little bitch about it

Maybe this will shine a light for some fans to realize that sometimes when a young player doesn't look overly impressive in their early seasons it might be because of their usage or the scheme they're in. It's not always all on the player just not living up to expectations.
I mean it was two ******* games. As we saw, pieces were moving around all year because the players and staff had an uphill climb. When we see how many guys were excited about playing on defense and moving around, Minkah's actions were childish. I would not of cared had he said "hey, this isn't working out we should part ways." after the season. What happens if Pittsburgh falls off now that big Ben is showing age?
There's always 2 sides to every story and the truth in the middle. I dint doubt communication was off but even Minkah's explanation seems like he handled it poorly
I tend to think, Minkah handled the whole situation poorly. He went from being excited about his multi role position on defense, after the draft; to whining about how he was being handled. Two different stories in a one year time frame. What changed? There seems like there was some mishandling on Miami's part as well. But overall, Minkah just didn't want to be in Miami anymore. As a life long fan, I want player's, who want to play for The Miami Dolphins!!!

Wish they would've just put him at deep middle and called it a damn day.
I hate egotistical coaches sometimes.

Why would we want to keep a player who is going to decide for himself when he listens to coaches or not. Thats not a team player.

IMO, this is why Flores let him go because he wasn't a team first guy. I bet Flores liked him as a player
I still wish that they could have worked it out because I think Fitzpatrick will be an all pro safety for several years to come and Miami needs better safeties than they have now. Hopefully Jackson works out at LT because if he does, at least watching Fitzpatrick have so much success with the Steelers won’t feel as bad.
