WilliamsThu, 27 Apr 2006 12:25:20 -0700Perry Lefko, of the Toronto Sun, reports the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL added Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams to their negotitation list Wednesday, April 26, a day after he was suspended for the 2006 NFL season for violating the league's substance abuse policy for a fourth time. All CFL teams have 35-player negotiation lists, which allows them to deal exclusively with players, even if they are under suspension.</div> [

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dolphins, CFL's Argos close to agreement on WilliamsESPN.com news servicesThe Miami Dolphins will allow Ricky Williams to play for the Toronto Argonauts as long as they have it in writing that he will be released at the end of the CFL season, the Miami Herald reported Friday, citing a source close to the Argos.Ricky WilliamsRunning BackMiami DolphinsProfile2005 SEASON STATISTICSRush Yds TD Rec Yds TD168 743 6 17 93 0The Argonauts were expected to comply with that request as early as Friday, the newspaper reported, allowing Williams and his agent, Leigh Steinberg, to neogiate a deal with the CFL team. The Herald reported Steinberg declined comment Thursday.The Argonauts secured Williams' CFL rights when the running back was suspended for a year by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The team's training camp starts Sunday, and the team opens its regular season June 16.The Dolphins had been reluctant to let Williams play in Canada due to the risk of injury, but are apparently relenting. Williams has three children and a fourth on the way and has reportedly earned $270,000 since December 2003, the Herald reported. He owes the Dolphins $8.6 million for breaching his contract when he retired in 2004."We want Ricky back on our team," Dolphins coach Nick Saban told the Herald earlier this month. "Ricky doesn't need to go to Canada to prove anything to us." But Saban also said the Dolphins would "give him the opportunity to do it if it's something that he needed to do or really wanted to do."Williams rushed for 743 yards and six touchdowns last season.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2450727

    I think this is the best thing he could do. He's basically done in the NFL, so the CFL is all that is left for him. He should be able to dominate the CFL.
