Minkah Fitzpatrick's exchange request: his teammates hold out for the first-round pick of 2018: "It's going to be all the way"

The Miami Dolphins had an eventful week, starting with a 49-point loss to the Baltimore Ravens and ending with several players wanting to find a way out of Miami the team is in clear reconstruction mode. The first name (publicly) willing to look for a trade is Minkah Fitzpatrick, first choice in 2018, that the The dolphins would have obtained the authorization find a new team. Trade negotiations have not yet progressed, to our knowledge, but five teams stand out as the most logical solution for the 2018 first-round pick.

Although Fitzpatrick seems to be leaving Miami after just 17 games, one of his teammates does not believe that he stopped playing in the Dolphins. Safety Bobby McCain does not question the heart of Fitzpatrick, who is looking for a new team to play.

"Minkah (Fitzpatrick) loves football, Minkah loves football, so I know he's going to be all in. I will never question that," McCain told reporters on Friday. "At the end of the day, there is an end to football, and then there is football, we unfortunately know that this case is a crazy affair, but if that's what you have to do, you have must move things forward.

"You too – he knows it, and we all know that no matter what happens, all that people want to exaggerate, go out, do the work and win, it'll calm things down, it's certain . "

McCain is one of many Dolphins players to focus solely on New England and not on all the outside noises that occurred during the week. Fitzpatrick also does not let transaction reports touch him.

"I'm focused on the New England Patriots, it's going to be a big game (against a big team) this Sunday, so that's all I'm focusing on," Fitzpatrick said. "I'm a big part of this week's game plan, so I'm going to go and give it all to this team, because I'm a Miami dolphin." As I said, I'm going to do my best to be sure to play my best, to do my best, that's all I'm focusing on right now, it's the New England Patriots. "

McCain did not want to comment on the players looking to leave the Dolphins as this was beyond his control. His playing on the field dictates his future in the NFL, not what other teammates decide in the locker room.

"One of my most important things is just controlling what you can control.If you do it, it's my great friend who told me that.Two of my great friends me A long time ago – Louis Delmas and Reshad Jones – control what you can control, and everything will be fine with you, "McCain said. "All I can control is my field efforts and it's with everyone – control my field efforts and how I approach it, how I talk to people and how I manage this team, we will be out on Sunday with a better performance than we did on Sunday.
