Recommendation: We'll be more certain once we hear from new coach Nick Saban and the NFL, as Williams is still facing a possible suspension for drug use. Williams can't rejoin the Dolphins until July because his retirement triggered a one-year suspension under the league's drug policy. "He owes a four-game suspension provided he comes back after the one-year anniversary of his retirement," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. It's also worth noting that reports say Williams now weighs as little as 195 pounds, something Williams' agent doesn't dispute.
I think Ricky was on steriods as well as drugs. I think a return for him would be a disaster. Not only would EVERY single defender want to knock the snot out of him, but so would the league. He'd be under the microscope all the time for drug tests and what not.
Plus I think he would suck. It says he is 195 pounds! 195! Portis is more than that and he is considered small. And Ricky's style is just to run through people, and at 195 the only guy he would be running through was the ref.
I seriously doubt that he ever plays again, and if he does, I never see him being a game-breaker.

Ricky seems to think that he can come into camp in JULY and not only put on 20-25 lbs. but also be in game shape by SEPTEMBER. You've got to leave the States to get bud that makes a person think like that

I don't know why, but I think what ever franchise ends up with Williams is going to get a real good player. Maybe not next year but in the long run. Marajuana, atleast its not crack.
Williams must still serve suspension if he returnsESPN.com news services
MIAMI -- Ricky Williams will report to Dolphins training camp in July, according to his agent, Leigh Steinberg.
Steinberg told the Palm Beach Post on Friday that Williams "absolutely" plans to rejoin the Dolphins after retiring prior to last season. "Ricky's made the decision he wants to play again," Steinberg told the paper.
Williams' strong rapport with new Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban is part of the reason why the running back is contemplating a return, Steinberg said Friday.
Williams and Saban have had "some steady dialogue in the last 10 days," said Steinberg, who would not discuss specifics or detail what would have to transpire in the coming weeks for the NFL's leading rusher in 2002 to rejoin the Dolphins.
"Ricky has expressed a desire and excitement about returning to the Dolphins and playing football this season," Steinberg said. "He's keeping in shape and has been involved in a rigorous training program."
Williams, however, did not sound as certain about his return in an online chat with a Sports Illustrated reporter on Wednesday night, saying, "I honestly do not know [about playing football again]."
Williams retired unexpectedly last July, shortly before the Dolphins opened training camp and began their tumult-filled season. Without him, Miami went 4-12, coach Dave Wannstedt resigned after nine games and the Dolphins averaged just 17.2 points and 275 yards per game -- their worst production since 1969.
The leading Dolphins rusher in 2004, Sammy Morris, had 523 yards -- well off Williams' total of 1,372 in 2003 and his NFL-best 1,853 from 2002.
Saban, who has continually remained open to the prospect of Williams returning, said Thursday the sides are "in the process of evaluating" some issues that could lead to a comeback.
As recently as February, when he was in South Florida for a hearing in a paternity case, Williams told reporters he was "enjoying retirement" and unsure if he'd ever return to football.
If Williams returns, he'd likely have to wait until July to un-retire. Otherwise, he would face a one-year suspension for his violations of the NFL's substance-abuse program.
"He owes a four-game suspension provided he comes back after the one-year anniversary of his retirement," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday.
The Williams saga had numerous twists, including his acknowledgment shortly after retiring that he failed drug tests and faced a suspension for testing positive three times for marijuana. A court later found him in breach of contract by retiring and ordered him to repay the Dolphins $8.6 million.
"I think he will come through this and be very productive as a player and be a good role model once again," Steinberg told Game Night on ESPN Radio. "We've seen so many situations in this world where people go through troubles and come back and are usually productive. There are players in the NFL who are involved in murder and involved in situations who are now doing endorsements. There are players who are involved in very serious situations where they hurt other people and somehow they are accepted. Ricky Williams was mostly destructive to himself."
Williams spent much of the last year traveling to places like India and Australia but, according to some close to him, continued to follow football and the Dolphins. He also enrolled at the California College of Ayurveda in Grass Valley, Calif., studying holistic medicine.
"I don't think he has ever lost his passion of the game of football," Steinberg told ESPN Radio. "The only question is whether or not he felt he could exist within the parameters of the NFL. He's been going to the school to help him heal from the drug use. All of that has led him on the path that has made him miss the NFL more and more and more and led him again on a path, which is sort of a more natural path and away from the substances that may not work in the NFL. Right now, the Dolphins is an exciting place to be."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
"I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me -- we won by 21. I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know."
did I hear that right? RW says hes sorry and NFL said ok come on back. We need new management in the NFL. That is sending the wrong messg. to kids. These athletes should be held acountable for thier... as Philip Danies said so elequently about Talor.... Knuckle head actions
