Minkah Fitzpatrick Gets a $16.245 Million Signing Bonus in His Restructured Dolphins Deal
Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins agreed Sunday to a restructured contract that adds a $16.245 million signing bonus to the All-Pro safety's deal. Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the restructured deal, which was first reported by ESPN. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick in a trade with the Steelers last month that sent All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh. Fitzpatrick, who became one of the top safeties in the NFL with the Steelers, returned to the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2018 and traded him away at his request in 2019. There previously was no guaranteed money left on Fitzpatrick's contract that runs through 2026. No years were added, but Rosenhaus said they're seeking a multiyear extension. The Dolphins cleared $11 million in cap space in the restructured deal by converting part of Fitzpatrick's salary to a bonus, according to NFL Network. Fitzpatrick had $2 million of his 2026 salary moved up to this coming season. He is now due $17.5 million in 2025 and $15.6 million in 2026. Fitzpatrick had signed a four-year extension with the Steelers in 2022 that made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL at the time and gave him $36 million in guarantees.

Short-handed Inter Miami secure draw against FC Cincinnati
Despite being without Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, host Inter Miami dueled FC Cincinnati to a scoreless draw on Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Messi and Alba were both suspended on Friday for skipping the MLS All-Star Game earlier this week. Still, Miami (12-4-6, 42 points) barely found a way to secure a valuable point in its chase of Supporter's Shield leader Philadelphia (15-5-5, 50 points) 10 days after losing 3-0 in the first meeting between the clubs. Cincinnati nearly scored the game-winning goal in the second minute of second- half stoppage time when Miles Robinson appeared to sneak a shot past Miami keeper Rocco Rios Novo. But Robinson was called for a foul on Inter Miami's Noah Allen. The call was upheld even after video-assisted review. With Messi out, Inter Miami leaned more on Luis Suarez and Tadeo Allende up front. With Alba out, and Miami also missing Maxi Falcon due to yellow card accumulation, it started Benja Cremaschi at the left back position. Miami did not approach the game tentatively, however, as it put together two great scoring chances in the first 15 minutes of the match. Fafa Picault, who started with Messi out, nearly scored on a header in the 11th minute. Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano, who came with his second clean sheet against Inter Miami and third in a row overall. Rocco Rios Novo started for Inter Miami in goal for the injured Oscar Ustari and recorded his clean sheet and the club's first since another scoreless draw against Al Ahly on June 14 in the first match of the FIFA Club World Cup. It was Miami's first shutout in an MLS game since beating Columbus 1-0 on April 19. Cincinnati superstar Evander, who scored twice in the first game against Inter Miami, was held scoreless. But Evander had a great chance early in the second half but missed the goal on a close-range shot. Miami outshot Cincinnati 13-8. But Cincinnati outshot Miami 4-3 on shots on target.
