It wasn't the rampantly rumored John Beck trade, but the Dolphins did make a minor splash on the trade front today. Fourth-year cornerback Travis Daniels was shipped to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick.
Background Daniels, 25, was drafted by former Dolphins head coach Nick Saban in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. Saban had previously coached Daniels while the two were at LSU. Despite being a second-day pick, Daniels was thrust into the starting lineup early, as he opened 14 of 16 games for the Dolphins in 2005. It would prove to be his best season for the Dolphins, as he recorded 61 tackles, 13 pass deflections, and an interception. Daniels appeared in 28 games over the following two seasons, starting 11. He recorded just two interceptions and five pass deflections over in that span. Prior to the trade, Daniels had been competing for a backup cornerback job with Nathan Jones, Joey Thomas, Will Billingsley, and Chris Roberson in training camp.
