The Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins executed the biggest NFL offseason transaction so far on Monday. Pittsburgh traded 28-year-old three-time First-Team All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (2019, 2020, 2022) to the Miami Dolphins, while acquiring 30-year-old three-time First-Team All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey (2017, 2020, 2021), alongside tight end Jonnu Smith in a separate move.

Though the exchange was somewhat equivalent, the NFL futures didn’t shift dramatically post-trade. However, both teams experienced an improvement in specific betting markets.
