In the midst of their playoff run last month, executive Bill Parcells reportedly told the Dolphins that he would exercise his right to leave at the end of the season. "I will exercise my right to leave once this season is over and the team sale is complete," Parcells said, according to a source. Miami was able to convince Parcells to stay by changing a 30-day escape clause in his contract to an open-ended arrangement whereby Parcells can leave at any time.
