Ronnie Brown wants to remain with the Dolphins, but does the team want to retain him? "I haven't given up hope," said Brown, whose contract with the Dolphins expires after this season. "I know there's a chance I won't be back here. You know, that's something I think about. It's tough because I've grown so attached to this community and this area." It is believed that Brown would sign a less lucrative deal to re-sign with the Dolphins. "I do have to go into it with an open mind, realizing it is a possibility," Brown said. "I have to prepare myself so that if I'm not here next year, I won't go into any kind of depression or anything."
