Looks like nope to the dope.

 

Long live the Ricky Williams threads!

I see Bill sitting down with him before he makes any kind of decision. I don't think he'll knee jerk and just cut him loose just because of his history without talking to him first. I think he may keep him.

 

Ricky is gone.

I got the feeling he was referring directly to Williams when he made that 'problem child' reference. I didn't think he was referring to Porter when he talked about thugs.

 

Realistically, I think it's fair to say Parcells will consider keeping him. That don't mean that he will. But he'll likely take into consideration the fact the Ricky has shown that he is abiding by the NFL substance abuse policy and has kept his body in shape. I'm not suggesting he WILL keep RW. But the fact that we have so many holes to fill, the fact the Ronnie is coming off a severe knee injury and he has yet to play a complete NFL season, then it's not out of the question that Bill will hang on to Ricky. ALSO, since the ultimate say is (supposedly) not his, then Ireland would be involved in making that decision.

 

i say he stays

 

that sounds like he is talking directly to ricky.. ha

 

no i think he needs to be gone

 

what exactly would be the point of cutting him? he makes next to nothing

 

Agreed bro... There is no loss to the team in keeping him around. The worst that could happen is that he screws up again and he is done. A guy with this talent, and making minimum dollars agains the cap is a keeper, EVEN IN BILL's eyes...

 

its like when you are dealing with ex-girlfriends

if the broad is hot and trying to get down, you won't turn it down

 

Exactly. A player with the talent of RW is hard to come by. Having him as a luxury, however uncertain, is still a luxury in the grind of an NFL season. If he screws up again, then we didn't necessarily lose anything. Hell, he's had most of his strikes with us. If he strikes out, it may as well be with us as well.

 

The answers are usually the same in these threads.
Its usually, OMG yes, keep him!
Or, no friggin way, cut him NOW!
haha

 

I am going to say Bill Parcells will trade him away for a 6th round pick.

 

Right now they couldn't get a bag of balls and some tackling sleds for him. There's no cap hit and he makes League Min.

there's no point in cutting him.

 

We'd be lucky to get a 7th...

We'd be lucky to get airfare for Ricky to get wherever he was traded... :lol:

I think he stays.

 

Ricky's contract renewed
The agent for injured Dolphin Ricky Williams said Bill Parcells has renewed Williams' contract. But trading running back is possible.

Well, though it doesn't guarantee anything, it certainly supports the possibility the RW will be toting the rock for us next year. He's a great talent and can only help us. He certainly can't hurt. And he'll be a part of the type of offense BP prefers: an in your face running, ball control type offense to compliment a tough, in your face type defense.

 

I agree with most of the replies, there is little loss in having Rickey Williams on the roster. Everyone expects him to fail, but if he stays clean, he could have a good career.

If I were his agent, I would load up his contract with incentives. that is the only way Rickey make any real money this season.

RTD

 

Love that.. With Ronnie, Ricky and Booker, we may be able to turn Chatman into a pick. He's been pretty consistent since Ronnie went out.

 

here is the ONLY problem with keeping Ricky. You need to carry 4 RB's. you can't just keep 3 the logical top 3 (Ricky Ronnie and Booker) ALL have their question marks: Ronnie is coming off injury, Ricky is unreliable and Booker is not every-down back material. If we keep Ricky, we almost have to keep 4 backs, whether the 4th is Chatman, Cobbs, or a new guy.

In the end, I hope we keep him....and can't keep myself from rooting for the guy, but it does present this one roster question.
