Reports are that the Toronto Argonauts are interested in Ricky Williams and have placed him on their negotiations list. The CFL has a history of bringing in players with off the field troubles and are not currently able or available to play in the NFL. Recent examples of these types of players include Andre Rison (who was one of my favorite players growing up, but that’s neither here nor there) and Lawrence Philips. One performed well, and the other didn’t. Wanna guess which one? With a minimum base salary of $39,000, it is speculated that Williams could command anywhere from $70-150,000. Still a good salary for someone like me, but a far cry from an NFL paycheck. Question is, will he have to find a new bag man?
