Ricky Williams is retiring

Can anyone say "made for tv movie" ?

a trade between minnesota and miami would make a lot of sense with minn. darn good depth at rb, but a cheap pick up who could fill a similar type of role as williams if healthy could be James Stewart. If I were phins management I'd try to trade for either michael bennet of the vikes or anthony thomas of the bears plus a second or third round choice with either player.

about the sanders thing, when does his contract with the lions end or is it finally a dead contract?

Ricky did screw by not mentioning he was considering leaving earlier, if just to the coach or GM... may still have leaked, but at least they'd be able to draft or trade and keep the season together.

err, thats screw up, sorry... and shaq is really a prett decent guy from everything i've heard, that's cool that he'd do that.

The vikings wouldnt get rid of Bennet I dont think. Maybe Moe Williams though. One of my professors is like a step dad or somethign to Moe, he would always brag how he doesnt get any credit, but every start he has had he got 100 yards or more. The guys definitly a trooper.

Moe Williams was phenominal last year. He's an older dude but still has it in him. He regularly put up BIG numbers for both of my fantasy leagues. Probably my most consistant performer, and I had LT in one league and Stephen Davis in another.

From what I've heard about Bennett, the Vikes are really high on him bouncing back strong this year and expect him to be their workhorse. I doubt they'd move him.

I don't really think James Stewart is anyone's answer at RB. He couldn't even keep a job with Detroit's pitiful "O". And MINN is not going to trade Bennett - right now they expect him to carry the load at RB. The other guys they have are not going to bring much value.

I would think Onterrio Smith would be the Vikings back traded

By the way, this is probably nothing more than just a coincidence. But does anyone have a theory as to why whenever an NFL player retires "early" it's always a running back; Jim Brown, Robert Smith, Barry Sanders, Ricky Wiliams?

Is running back the most physically and mentally challenging position? Is that why?
