Ricky Williams Reinstatement process (1 Viewer)

I was under the impression that he was going to apply for reinstatement today. If he was going to make a name for himself in the league again, I would have figured he was knocking on Goddells door this morning at 0901am.

Has anyone heard anything yet? I think the situation could not set itsself up any better than it has right now.

TB, Chicago, GB, HOU, STL, OAK - thats the market for him. Id imagine that GB would have the least "temptation" or maybe I should say "availablility" to get himself into trouble and could be a match made perfect if Ted Thompson believes that this team is close.

He probably smoked a doob and forgot to make the phone call.

He's good to go. All doobage smoked, ready to run.

Now, Goodell needs to throw the NFLPA a bone (and FavreCo) and re-instate Ricky just as quickly as he suspends players.

The NFL has up to 10 WEEKS before they must give a decision if he applies for re-instatement.

RB Ricky Williams applies for reinstatement to NFL

October 1, 2007

MIAMI (AP) -- Suspended running back Ricky Williams applied for NFL reinstatement Monday, his agent said.

"Ricky is extremely excited about the prospect of playing in the NFL again," Leigh Steinberg said.

Williams has played in only 12 NFL games since the start of the 2004 season, but rushed for 3,225 yards in 2002-03. His current suspension began in April 2006 after he violated the league's drug policy for the fourth time. He tested positive for marijuana this April, again delaying his return.

Williams remains under contract with Miami, where he won the NFL rushing title in 2002. But new coach Cam Cameron has not indicated whether he wants Williams to stay with the Dolphins, who fell to 0-4 Sunday.

The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner spent an extended vacation in Australia and India during a yearlong retirement in 2004. He played in the Canadian Football League in 2006 and taught yoga in California.

Williams' attorney did not immediately return phone messages Monday.

I'll be happy to roll him out (pun intended) as a RB3.
