Ian Rapaport reported on NFL Network that he talked with Mike Dee and Dee told him that Ross selling the team may depend on how the 2013 season goes as far as wins and losses, if Ross feels he has a playoff type team he may decide to keep the team for a few years. Dee was asked whether or not Ross will sell in the very near future and said it was too early to tell.

Which also means Ireland is on the hot seat for sure.

This is going to a LONG offseason.

Sounds to me like Ross is putting the heat on the organization, and if folks recall, Wayne H sold the team, or the sale was finalized, in 2008 when we made that run to the playoffs. -

Again... those comments are directed towards Tallahassee, not the fans of Miami. Its all blatant posturing. This team isn't going anywhere. These comments will apply pressure on Tallahassee to loosen their belts a little when this comes around next time (aka - next year)...

If anything he will cone out and reiterate that he has no intentions to move. -
It wont ever get to that... -
A wise man once said: "A man and a pig can rassle in the mud, but only the pig is gonna like it." -

Ross may come out and say again, that he isn't moving. That way the fans can see Ross say it but the message is already out there for consumption -

They kind of sunk their own boat with their actions. This is why it looks to me like it was a one shot thing all along. If it went through, good for Ross he gets his stadium upgrade just in time to sell the new improved stadium & team, if it doesn't go through, they put out doom & gloom about the team being sold and possibly moved.
To me its pretty nasty and really disgusting if that is what is really going on. -
Ross isn't selling any time soon.

If Mike Dee said the things the original poster says, all the more reason he deserves to be fired.
However I can't find confirmation that what the original poster said Ian Rapoport has reported is actually true. On his NFL Network segment the worst he said is that when asked whether this will mean Ross sells the team, Mike Dee said "it's too early to tell" and earlier in the report Rapoport said that they won't relocate while Steve Ross is the owner, but "in 5 years or 10 years, who knows?"
I saw nothing saying specifically that how the team does in 2013, whether they make the playoffs or not, will determine whether Ross keeps the team or sells it. -
