NEW YORK (AP) - Ricky Williams will serve a four-game suspension beginning next month and then be reinstated with the Miami Dolphins by the NFL, according to his lawyer.

But the league says an agreement has not been finalized.

"I am pleased with the National Football League's proposal," attorney David Cornwell said Tuesday. "I think Ricky will be pleased, too."

Williams must approve the deal, which would move him from the retired list to the suspended list for the final four games of the schedule. The running back is required to serve a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

After that, his contract with the Dolphins would be in force.

Well regardless if he comes back or not, his teammates hate his ass. The "experts' are saying that he would most likely be traded.

He'll be traded and there will be takers. As flaky as he is, Ricky can definitely run with the ball. I envision incentive-laden and conditional contracts in his future.

Well, on "Inside the NFL" I belive Ricky was quoted as saying "Why would I want to play football again?", this was after the deals to let him come back as well, so good riddance. I lost all respect for that stoner months ago.

Well, anyone who wants to sign this guy is putting their own job on the line in my opinion. Williams is not the world's safest bet.

Some teams need the "not the safest bet" cause they have no cards at all in there hand.
