The Dallas Cowboys are trading defensive back Kelvin Joseph to the Miami Dolphins for cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, a source told CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson.
Joseph was selected with the No. 44 pick by the Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old played just 24% and 15% of the team’s defensive snaps in the last two years, respectively, but has seen his special teams snap rate jump from 49% to 70%, per PFR.
Igbinoghene joined the Dolphins as a 2020 first-round draft pick out of Auburn. He played a career-high 39% of Miami’s defensive snaps in 2022 and dropped to just 17% of the special teams snaps after playing over 50% in the previous two seasons, according to PFR. The 23-year-old is slated to be a free agent next offseason after Miami declined his fifth-year option.
