Williams has three children with three women and recently settled a paternity suit with one of them. He will pay $4,000 per month to support the child. Williams also had to deposit $300,000 in a trust account as part of the settlement and is required to purchase a $500,000 life insurance policy on himself with the child as the beneficiary.
As for the July return, Williams technically can't return to the team until then or he would face a one-year suspension under the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Williams had tested positive for marijuana use three times. His retirement in July before training camp was considered a fourth violation of the policy and would have resulted in a one-year suspension.
The fourth violation and suspension can only be avoided if Williams sits out a full year. Williams faces a four-week fine and four-week suspension for his second and third positive tests. An NFL source indicated the league likely will give Williams the full penalty for those violations.
