Steelers and Ricky?
If the Steelers need a big running back for next season to pair with Willie Parker, the Miami Dolphins have just the man for them -- Ricky Williams.
Williams rehabilitated himself this year, especially late. He averaged 4.9 yards a carry in the final seven games and topped 100 in each of the final two games.
The Dolphins plan to feature Ronnie Brown in his second NFL season, and Williams is on the trade block.
Of course, there were those three failed drug tests, a suspension and the nagging little problem of quitting on his teammates in 2004. But, if you can overlook all that, Williams could be your man.
Said Miami coach Nick Saban, "The guy has been nothing but first class in every way, shape and form in terms of everything we've asked him to do, everything he's said he's going to do and the way he's gone about everything that he has done. He's worked hard. He's never complained. He's set a great example for others." Spoken like a real salesman. There's another advantage: Williams will make the NFL minimum of $545,000 next season.
