Dolphins | R. Williams loses out on $1 million bonus
Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:53:37 -0700

Jeff Darlington, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams' one-year suspension will cost him a $1 million bonus, as well as his $560,000 base salary.


I'm shocked that that's all he's going to lose. that's nothing. Though its more than his next contract is going to be worth ($0 to vet min).

ESPN.com is saying that Williams might play the year in the CFL...he'd make back about 100k of that!

at least he'd stay in shape

What's the technicality though? In fact his statement yesterday was that he was dissappointed by the decision, but that he "respects the decision". If it was really a false positive, I don't think he'd have pulled that quick of a 180.

The technicality in this instance would be that he took harmless supplements which merely contain trace amounts of chemicals found in illegal or performance enhancing drugs. Remember, he neither lied about nor denied using marijuana. He knew the consequences then, as he does now, and still was honest to the point of fault. You can say a lot of things about the guy, but I don't believe that anyone has any legitimate reason to knock his integrity. Many of the problems he has faced have resulted from his propensity for honesty. As far as pulling a 180, I tend to believe that he knows he already appealed the ruling and lost. There is no point in further contesting the decision. It's far better to simply come forward and say that while he doesn't agree with it, he does respect the authority of those who rendered it. The man has to realize the futility in proclaiming his innocence of a crime for which he has previously committed at least 4 times.
