Dolphins Now Trying to Finish Deal the Falcons Couldn't

The Miami Dolphins are deep in negotiations with Bill Parcells on a longterm contract for the former coach to be an executive with the team overseeing its football operations, an NFL source said tonight.

Talks between the Dolphins and Parcells re-started today when owner Wayne Huizenga told Parcells he would not sell the franchise, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because negotiations were ongoing.

Parcells backed out of near-deal with the Atlanta Falcons for a similar job earlier today.
