After a strong season, hard-hitting Miami Dolphins safety Yeremiah Bell is expected to cash in either with his present team or as one of the top free agents at his position. Although the Dolphins are likely to make a push to sign Bell to a contract extension prior to the free agent signing period Feb. 27, Bell could profit in a major way if he hits the open market, according to the Palm Beach Post. Bell, 30, ranks just below Philadelphia Eagles seven-time Pro Bowl selection Brian Dawkins on ESPN’s list of the best free agent safeties. Of course, Dawkins is five years older than Bell and has 34 career interceptions. Bell had 120 tackles and a sack and forced three fumbles last season in 16 starts, but no interceptions. He has just one interception for his career, and it was in 2005. He’s regarded as a fairly intimidating tackler, though, who excels in run support.
