One source told the Herald on Monday night that "Bill is still performing his duties to the Dolphins, but he's choosing to do it in a different fashion." Parcells remains open to the possibility of preparing for April's NFL Draft with the Dolphins, the newspaper reported. Regardless of the duration of the leave, Parcells told several members of the organization that he will return in some capacity but will not move anything back into his former office. There was a clause written into Parcells' contract that stipulates if former owner Wayne Huizenga sold the team, Parcells would be paid the remaining balance of his four-year, $12 million deal regardless of whether he stays with the team or not. When Huizenga sold to Stephen Ross last year, Parcells stayed on because he wanted to continue grooming Ireland and coach Tony Sparano. He planned to eventually leave whenever he thought they were ready. source..NFL.COM..league source's..
