MIAMI (AP) _ Safety Yeremiah Bell signed a US$1.3-million,
one-year tender Monday to remain with the Miami Dolphins.
Bell had been a restricted free agent. The former walk-on at
Eastern Kentucky gave the Dolphins' defence a boost when he became a
starter at mid-season, and he totalled 65 tackles with a team-high
12 passes defended.
``We were hoping to get a multi-year deal,'' said Bell's agent,
Drew Rosenhaus. ``We're going to continue to negotiate with the
Dolphins. But we weren't close enough, so it made sense to sign the
tender.''
