Stephen Ross' wikipedia is amusing
Quote:
Stephen M. Ross (born 1940 in Hamtramck, Michigan) is an American real estate developer who lives in New York City. He is the founder, chairman and CEO of The Related Companies, L.P., a global real estate development firm. Related is best known for developing the Time Warner Center, where Ross lives and works as well as blowing up the Miami Dolphins franchise with a series of bizarre off the field distractions (Orange Carpet, Club Liv, Jimmy Buffett), failed coaching changes, public relations lies (see prior statement) and other management miscues which have turned the NFL's formerly winningest franchise into the laughing stock of the league, unable to attract even washed up veteran superstars or unproven younger talent. A native of Miami Beach, he also co-owns the Miami Dolphins NFL football franchise with Fergie, Mark Anthony, the Williams sisters and anyone else who would pay down some of his enormous debts for a vanity stake in the team and 95% of Sun Life Stadium.[1] The University of Michigan renamed its business school the Ross School of Business in his honor [2] after receiving a $100 million gift from Ross.[3].

He said Bell is the best DB on Miami and a big reason why the D was so good. Belichik will grab him instantly and that seriously would be huge the Pats.
If Bell is viewed as Sergio's or Diggy's replacement, and is willing to play for the vet minimum,
then I'd be OK with signing him.
But his coverage ability would make Chung look like Ed Reed by comparison.
There's no way that both of them should be on the field at the same time, except in
short-yardage/goal-line situations.
We need somebody to play beside Chung who excells in coverage, so that some of last year's
long completions become incompletions or - better still - interceptions.

Exactly. Sign Bell for 1-2 years and then draft Mark Barron. Then we have 4 serviceable safeties compared to 1 (and only for half a season) last season....

Agreed.
Exactly why I still feel as though there's no better option at the present moment than one of the hybrid CB's, such as McCourty or Moore.
I'm not saying that's the way it should necessarily be come September, even though there's some basis of an argument that would support it--especially if the Pats draft another CB in April; but due to a lack of any better suitors, it sure seems as though it should at least be considered.
Of course the season doesn't start for quite some time, so I would expect it to be addressed via the draft and also a possible vet signing.

Barron may be the popular choice to be the #1 rated safety in the draft, but there's a lot of doubt about whether he'll be a good NFL player.
