Through the long history of the Miami Dolphins, one trade stands out with the Colts.

Earlier today we looked at the “trade” between the Miami Dolphins and the Colts for Don Shula but now we are going to look at the best trade Miami made for players, with the Colts.

The first trade that made a positive impact between the two clubs came back in 1973 when Don Shula sent RB Hubert Ginn to the Colts for FB Don Nottingham and a sixth-round draft pick.
