Dolphins trade Chris Chambers to the Chargers for a D-pick

The Miami Dolphins have traded WR Chris Chambers to the Sand Diego Chargers for a 2008 draft pick.

Dolphins trade Chris Chambers to the Chargers for a D-pick What started initially as a rumor has turned into a reality - it was confirmed that the Miami Dolphins (0-6) have traded wide receiver Chris Chambers to the San Diego Chargers (3-3) in exchange for a 2008 second-round draft pick. In a statement Dolphins GM Dolphins Randy Mueller was quoted at the Dolphins website saying "This trade will give some of our younger players at that position, such as Ted Ginn and Derek Hagan, more of an opportunity this year. Chris did everything we asked of him and represented this organization in a first-class manner. We wish him and his family the best of luck in San Diego." Chargers are still playing without their top receiver Eric Parker, who broke a toe in June and a surgery followed in August.

Chris Chambers, 29, was picked by the Dolphins in the 2001 draft from Wisconsin in the second round (52 overall). He is signed with Miami until 2009 and will still have to pay Chambers about $3.8 in bonuses. This season Chambers has caught 31 passes for 415 total yards.
