Former Iowa and Northern Iowa cornerback Benny Sapp apparently headed from the Minnesota Vikings to the Miami Dolphins

According to this Minneapolis Star Tribune account, former Iowa/Northern Iowa cornerback Benny Sapp is on his way to the Miami Dolphins in a trade for receiver Greg Camarillo.
This, from Judd Zulgad's Star Tribune story on Access Vikings:
Sapp was signed by the Vikings as a free agent in 2008 after four seasons with Kansas City. He played in 14 regular-season games in 2008 and 16 last year. Sapp became a key part of the Vikings defense, assuming the nickel role after Charles Gordon was injured in 2008. Sapp started seven games last season in part because of the broken foot that veteran Antoine Winfield suffered six games into the season.
The Vikings signed Sapp to a two-year, $4.2 million contract during the offseason that included $1.5 million guaranteed. Sapp missed extensive time during training camp in Mankato after suffering from dehydration during an early practice.
Sapp, 29, played at Iowa for two years and Northern Iowa for two years. He was an undrafted free agent when he made the Kansas City roster in 2004.
