I can confirm reports that the #Eagles are now serious players to sign S Yeremiah Bell. It's between them and the #Jets, per an NFL source.
Pro Football Focus assigned a grade of negative 12 to Bell's performance last season, ranking him as the second worst player on the Miami Dolphins defense. The 34-year-old was thrown at 40 times in 2011, allowing 26 catches for 333 yards and three touchdowns. Opposing quarterbacks accumulated a cumulative QB rating of 105.5 when throwing in Bell's direction.
