CB Travis Daniels has been traded to the Cleveland Browns

[fyo]

fyo, they're not really the "backups" per se because the #3 (and sometimes #4) corner is on the field for nickel and dime packages.  Its not like you have to wait for an injury for them to get burned by a slot receiver

I realize that they see the field more than, say, a backup quarterback... (although plenty of backup running backs and tight ends get lots of playing time)... the point was that Daniels was 5th or 6th in a position where 5 are usually kept.

This wasn't some good player or "potentially" good player getting cut lose. This was bottom-of-the-barrel churning.

T.D. bids so long to Dolphins fans

Just got a text from former Dolphins  CB Travis Daniels, who was traded to the Browns for an undisclosed draft pick Wednesday.

The kid is a lifelong Dolphins fan and a decent person. He's going to a team with a young, porous secondary (did you see the Giants-Browns game the other day?) so he should get on the field. I'm not saying he was any shutdown corner, because he did get a few toast jobs over the years but he was tough and always a gentleman with the media.

"I appreciate all the support over the years. I really enjoyed playing in Dolphin Stadium. It's something that I dreamed of as a little kid. In life, change will come. You accept it and roll with the punches.  I have a great opportunity here in Cleveland and I will make the most out of it. To all my Dolfans I will miss you.

Sincerely,

Travis Daniels

That shows a lot of maturity and class.

I always rooted for him because he always came off like that.  Bell is another that always seems appreciative of things.

Travis Daniels is a very good guy and a quality human being. Unfortunately, he isn't a very good or quality NFL cornerback. So it's off to Cleveland and I wish him well.
