Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Quarterback John Beck, selected in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft by Miami, was released by the Dolphins on Monday.

"We want to thank John for his work ethic and his professionalism," said Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland. "We wish him well in the future."

Beck, the 40th selection overall and fourth quarterback taken in 2007, started in four of the five games he appeared in during his rookie season, completing 60-of-107 passes for 559 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. He lost all four of his starts.

The Dolphins already have a pair of quarterbacks on their roster in starter Chad Pennington and Chad Henne. They also drafted West Virginia QB Pat White in the second round over the weekend.
