When it comes to NFL trade buzz around the Cincinnati Bengals, all the fun for fans right now is wondering about a trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
But a new candidate has just entered the mix: Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick is apparently available for trade, with Jordan Schultz reporting that the Dolphins have had talks about a deal involving him.
For a Bengals team that needs to seriously upgrade the safety spot, it’s a pretty interesting idea.

And as the numbers at Spotrac show, it wouldn’t be all that expensive from a cap standpoint:
Fitzpatick ranked as the seventh overall safety on a list of 98 at PFF last year. He’s 29 years old, but he’d be an upgrade for arguably the league’s worst safety room.
For the Bengals, a deal and the contract could be cheaper than paying up for a free agent or hoping a rookie pans out on the fly. While unlike the Bengals, it’s something that should probably at least be on the team’s radar as they go about planning the offseason.
