Ricky Williams is retiring

It really doesn't matter who they pick up, filling Ricky's shoes is nearly impossible this late in the offseason. The Dolphins season is officially done.

His timing sucks, but I always wondered if there would be more people after earning several million, just quit and ride off into the susnset. He has enough money to be set for life and while he could make millions more, doesn't need more money.

ugh, how many times are we gonna hear after every Dolphin punt or short yardage stop, 'Miami really misses Ricky Williams right about now'. its the story of the nfl this year.

unless Gibbs wins the Super Bowl :silly:

Trading henry could be a great move for teh bills. Yes its a risk becuase they havent seen Willis play, but if they see that hes healty then they have a star waiting to be born right there. If they traded henry for the dolphins first round pick wouldnt that give the bills three 1st round picks for next year? Could be a great way for their new coach to build the team, and get rid of a controversey at the same time.

Except of course, they are in the same conference. Unlikely.

of course the dolphins are a division rival team...
OOps I didn't see that you'd added that on the next page.

they didnt even mention the skins as being interested in trading. I guess they just put the teams that were interested prior to teh draft.

Its well known that the Phins are facing a massive cap crunch. If I'm them, (barring a mega trade) I would start to cut the cap now, since with Feeley and no running game they are essentially rebuilding anyway.

i dont think they are rebuilding. If they can get some sort of hb. I mean, they have won atleast 9 games the last few years, in a tough tough division. Theyve got a good set of receivers now, they defense is still great. If their defense still is great then they can ride that for a while.

Maybe, in an ironic twist, they can lure Barry Sanders out of retirement.

Seriously though, this is a crushing blow to the Dolphins and barring some huge surprise, they look destined for the AFC East cellar and Wandsteddt (sp?) looks like he'll be seeking a new job really soon.

side topic, I thought it was really cool that after reading all these articles about how Ricky left the fans and his team, that i saw an article about how shaq had a full page ad in the la newspaper thanking the fans. i just thought that was really cool of him to do something like that.
