That's what my favorite FFL site is saying.
Mmmmmmmmdraftsharks.com wrote:The Palm Beach Post reports RB Ricky Williams is making "final preparations to move back to South Florida" from California and should be in the area within a week, Leigh Steinberg said Friday. "He's coming soon," Steinberg added. "He wants to start his workout program down there." There has been no discussion yet about Williams' possible salary or the $8.6 million he owes the Dolphins. "We have to get him there, into the drug program and into that state first," Steinberg said. You know, it's crazy but it looks like Williams is going to play football for Miami in 2005. The Post even reports, "Whether it was a slip of the tongue or proof the Dolphins are readying for Williams' return, quarterback Gus Frerotte referred to Williams during an explanation of the new offense. 'We're going to take the best matchup that we have,' Frerotte said. 'If their middle linebacker is going to cover Ricky or Ronnie Brown out of the backfield, we're going to run plays to get them open.'" Steinberg also said Williams will agree to re-enter the NFL's drug treatment program, which means up to 10 drug tests per month. And last we heard, Ricky weighed under 200 pounds, some 30 below his normal playing weight. This story is going to pick up steam next month and we wonder just how big a hit Ronnie Brown's fantasy stock will take.
