MIAMI GARDENS — Steve Ross has spent his entire tenure as the Miami Dolphins owner laboring to avoid the perception that he’s a meddling owner who wants to make football decisions.
And that stance hasn’t changed despite reports that Ross, a real estate mogul who has owned the Dolphins since 2008, is advocating for his franchise to acquire talented, but embattled quarterback Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans.
ProFootballTalk.com, one of the most popular aggregators of NFL news and rumors, has been reporting about Miami being the possible landing spot for Watson, who has 22 civil cases and 10 criminal complaints — but not charges — involving sexual assault hanging over him.
