Mike McDaniel stepped in to keep Dolphins from trading veteran DT Calais Campbell to Ravens

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins were ready to deal veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline until Mike McDaniel stepped in. “I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum,” Miami’s coach said, confirming the news first reported by NFL Network Sunday morning. “I was happy that they brought me into the conversations,” Campbell said after Miami’s 34-15 win over the New England Patriots. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.” Added McDaniel: “I think it wasn’t like it was Chris versus me.. That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what’s the best for the organization.” Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season.
