The rookie from the University of Florida will now step into that critical role.

General Manager Jeff Ireland said, "On behalf of the Miami Dolphins, I would like to thank Dan for his contributions he has made as a member of the organization.  For the past five season has been a tireless worker on the field while devoting countless hours of his time off the field to the betterment of the South Florida community."
