    6 attempts, 15 yards, and 1 fumble last year.

    His reward -

    Granted, it's not the king's ransom, but this guy played in only 13 games since retiring in the summer of 2004. He has tested positive for marijuana at least four times since the Dolphins acquired him in 2002

    How much of that salary is going to pay off his debt for the amount of his signing bonus that he had to repay?

    This might have as much to do with the Dolphins not wanting to push Ronnie Brown to fast since he is coming off knee surgery.

    What a maroon. The guy gave up a giant contract so he could go smoke weed. All the talent in the world. Now look at him.

    There is just one sentence fragment in that blurb that really matters:

    In other words, the Dolphins sign Ricky Williams to a non-guaranteed contract, which they can terminate without penalty at any time....if he plays poorly, they release him....if he does something stupid, they release him....if he plays well and keeps his nose clean, they keep him....there is no risk, at all....only reward....translation:Parcells is smart

    Seemed pretty simple to me; too.

    I guess I should put everything into perspective. My bad. If Dallas will clamor for Pacman jones to be reinstated, I guess anything is possible.

    They have him now for at least 2 years, right? Why more than 2 years after all that has been said and *not* done? Where are the 1-2 year guys who actually deserve more of a look? You know the roster better than I do. Let me know.

    What is the point of this, really?

    In a Dolphins thread... you bring up Dallas.

    Nice to know we are on your mind.
