Magic Johnson recently met with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross to discuss business -- perhaps including becoming Miami's latest celebrity limited partner. However, Johnson's current No.1 priority remains bringing in the NFL back to Los Angeles. "I like Stephen Ross a lot," Johnson said. "Of course if he wants me to do business with him, we're going to do business together."

After Sunday's loss to the Steelers, the Dolphins continued to insist that they recovered the football when Ben Roethlisberger fumbled near the goal line in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh's Jeff Reed was able to kick the game-winning field goal on fourth down after officials determined that Roethlisberger had fumbled before crossing Miami's goal line but they could not determine who recovered the loose ball in the end zone. The Steelers were awarded the ball at the Dolphins' half-yard line. "Nobody else had that ball but me," Dolphins linebacker Ikaika Alama-Francis said. "I wasn't going to let it go. Damn right, I had it. I'm getting up with the ball and I'm hearing white ball, white ball. I came up with the ball and I wasn't going to let it go. "I was confident we had the ball and it was a touchback for us and we win the game. That ball was tucked under my armpit and it wasn't going nowhere. I was the first one on the ball and it shows, and I know I had it."

Bill Parcells is still working as a consultant for the Dolphins, but he is no longer involved in the day-to-day activities of the franchise, according to sources. Parcells has packed his bags and moved out of Miami's offices. The Dolphins knew that he would move out, but they didn't expect Parcells to do so this soon. The team must still pay Parcells the balance of the $12 million due to him under a four-year contract that expires after the 2011 season.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the 49ers could put in a waiver claim on Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman. However, Schefter also reports that Merriman could prefer to land in Baltimore, Dallas or Miami.

The Dolphins have signed wide receiver Davone Bess to a two-year contract extension, according to multiple reports. The deal is expected to make Bess the highest-paid slot receiver in the NFL. Miami signed Bess as an undrafted free agent out of Hawaii in 2008.
