The safety out of Alabama was considered a sure-fire future NFL contributor.

Fitzpatrick expressed concerns over the offseason with how the Dolphins defense was using him.

His skill-set is naturally in the slot, but new Dolphins head coach Brian Flores wanted to use Fitzpatrick in a variety of roles.

Fitzpatrick's trade demands became public before Miami played against New England on Sunday.
