i dunno but i got the same feelingyankeehillbilly said:Is there some animosity going on here from Ricky? When he said he was retiring a week before TC I just thought he was being selfish and irresponsible. But now that he is dragging his feet on submitting the documents I have to wonder, is he purposely trying to hurt the Phins?

SUPKEM said:Are you guys seriously thinking that because he didn't sign his papers HES thinking of coming back? Hes somewhere in eastern Mongolia just daring the NFL to try and find him. The longer this gos on, the more likey it is that nobody will even SEE him again than get him to sign some "meaningless" papers.
You can fine him all you want for missing practice.... Hes gone man. Far gone.

Ricky would have to file retirement papers and then the Dolphins could put him on the reserve retired list. The contract is suspended, (tolled in contract language) the roster spot and cap space is recovered. Retiring is to Ricky's advantage as he would not have to pay his fine. He can also un-retire whenever he wants.
If Ricky does not file for retirement and "otherwise fails or refuses to perform his services under this contract" the Dolphins can put him on the reserve did not report list. The contract is tolled, the roster spot and cap space is recovered.

Now it's up to Ricky to put up or shut up......If he does not send in his papers...get this: Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Ricky still would have to conform to any suspensions or fines that the NFL has imposed on him prior to sending in his papers......
So the question is: DID the NFL fine him his 4 game checks?
This Ricky retirement party is costing him a pretty penny.....
