Ok, I don't understand how Ricky could possibly be able to earn more than the veteran's minimum...I thought we were giving him a chance because he defaulted his contract and if he plays for us this season we can forget about the 8.6 million he owes us..But now, not only he wants to come back weighing 200 pounds, but also he wants a multi-million dollar contract.
In my opinion, his heart is not into football, he is in for the money...Remember he has 8.6 million reasons to come back...
Any opinions out there?
of course hes comming back for the money. not the new money he will be paid, but to erase what he is said to owe. he stopped playing football becuase he didnt want to do it anymore. thats why he retired. he tried to retire with the saints, but they were smart enough to trade him for 2 1st rounders.
most players who retire are allowed to go, the fins in there anger and blame said FU** ricky, we will take all his money back. knowing he doesnt have it. they only want him back so they dont loose a very talented asset.
i dont see where this is going. do the fins expect him to run for 1800 yards again? do they expect to trade him to another team for a high draft pick?
he doesnt want to be there, we all know it. hes not comming back for the money, hes comming back cus hes left with very few options. and if the team is trying to force him to play, than he might as well try to get some money for playing.
there is no way the fins will get that 8+ million, there is no way ricky, in this situation, that ricky will be liek he was.
just let him go and move on. he played great, and made the fins A LOT of money while he was here. he earned his money while playing for the saints, and fins. just let him fade away.
