Serving a one-year NFL suspension, frequent flier Ricky Williams has plenty of time for more world travel, which is fine with Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban.
The Dolphins are devising a training regimen for their enigmatic running back during his enforced hiatus.
"He can work out in India or California or wherever he wants to go, as long as we develop a plan," Saban said Friday. "Working out and doing what we ask him to do has never been an issue."
Aside from travelling, possibilities for Williams this year include teaching in California or playing in the Canadian Football League. After he was suspended, the Toronto Argonauts placed Williams on their negotiation list, meaning they hold his CFL rights.
Because he remains under contract with the Dolphins, they can prevent him from playing elsewher. Saban has been noncommittal on the subject.
"We're going to be fair to the player in terms of giving him an opportunity to do the things during this time that he thinks he needs to do to be successful in his career," Saban said. "I'm not going to deny him that, but I've also got feelings about what we want to accomplish in this organization."
Williams has said he wants to rejoin the Dolphins in 2007.
