Agent Drew Rosenhaus: Yeremiah Bell ‘drawing interest’ from Patriots 04.09.12 at 11:59 am ET

There’s already been some talk linking the Patriots to safety Yeremiah Bell — we covered that here — but Sunday night on WSVN-TV on Miami, Bell’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, went a step further, saying that Bell will not be returning to Miami and adding that the 34-year-old is drawing interest from the Patriots, Jets and Eagles.

Bell, a 2009 Pro Bowler, has surpassed the 100-tackle mark each of the past four years, with 107 in 2011 while also totaling two sacks and an interception. In a down year for safeties (both in the draft and in free agency), he would likely be a short-term investment for New England. The 6-foot, 205-pounder has traditionally played more of a strong safety role, and so he could provide depth at a position that has been played more often than not over the last two years by Patrick Chung.

     We only need him for one season. At 34 he can do just fine. :D This is our year, I can feel it.

  • Cuscus

    Still good!

    I hope Bell gets signed by Pats before Draft. Pats Mock Draft 47.0
    Pats trade a number one pick this year for additional 2nd and fourth round picks.
    1 Zach Brown OLB UNC 2 Chandler Jones DE Syracuse 2 Mitchell Schwartz OL California
    2 Casey Hayward CB Vanderbilt 3 Brian Linthicum TE Michigan State 4 Trenton Robinson S Michigan St. 4 Davin Maggett RB Maryland.

    obviously not coming to the Pats after big mouth Drew had to talk about it, come on, we all know that’s not how Bill rolls. Saying the Pats are interested is just a sure-fire way to get him signed to the big mouth Jets! put it in the bank
