Dolphins Trade Josh McCown to Panthers

The Miami Dolphins have traded quarterback Josh McCown to the Carolina Panthers, Fox Sports is reporting.

There is no word on what compensation the Dolphins got for McCown, but it couldn't have been much, considering that they were probably going to release him before tomorrow's mandatory roster cut-down.

The Dolphins gave McCown a $2.5 million signing bonus this year, but when they acquired Chad Pennington they no longer had need for the veteran as a backup. In Carolina he'll serve as a backup to Jake Delhomme; a backup to Delhomme became a more pressing need for Carolina when Matt Moore was hurt.

The move apparently means that John Beck's job is safe in Miami.
