Ricky Williams to retire in two seasons

Running back Ricky Williams retired once before and returned to football.

The next time should be his last time.

Williams said he would like to play this season and in 2010 and then call it a career.


“I want to be one of the guys who can walk away from the game on my own terms,” said Williams, who abruptly retired in May 2004 and missed time because of drug suspensions from 2005 through ’07.

I'm sure he discussed it with his head agent, making it a joint decision by weeding out his other options.

To put it bluntly.....

So there's some smoke to this rumor?

I'd hate to see his name drug through the mud... these things can get sticky from a legal perspective and icky personally...

I guess he kind of nipped his career in the bud - did he ever make it to a pro bowl?

 

[Mr_Burns]

I was hoping to see him light up a defense one last time, but I understand a lot was rolled up in his decision. He had a tough choice to make between shitting or getting off the pot.

 

[MaxBuck]

It'll be formally announced at a press conference tonight.

Plenty of munchies available afterward!

Yes. He smoked the NFC's defense and won MVP in 2003. He ripped a few nice runs.. I feel like he never avoided contact in that game, he got as many hits in as he could. He was flying high that game.
