WitP: Davone Bess #15

Davone Bess will not give up his number to new Miami Dolphin and $50 million man Brandon Marshall.

Early Thursday morning, Bess' agent, Kenny Zuckerman, confirmed a foxsports.com report that Bess would not sell his No. 15 to incoming wide receiver Brandon Marshall at any price, even if the price was donating money to a charity of Bess' choosing. Bess gives generously of his time to several community events. But he's not giving up his No. 15, the number Marshall wore with Denver.

``No sale!'' Zuckerman said via e-mail when asked if Bess would do it for any cost, including charity. ``He loves that number and wants to keep it. Seriously, it's not about money. He sincerely won't sell it.''

But there's no animosity between them. Bess talks a little about it in an interview with WQAM. You might have to scroll down on the player to listen to it. Look for "Davone Bess w Big O 4-15".

And the Sun-Sentinel's Omar Kelly has a quote from Marshall.

"(No. 15) that's his number. I'm coming into his locker room," marshall said referring to Davone Bess. "The only numb I care about is wins."
