Williams ponders return to Argos

Ricky Williams did a little thinking out loud on Tuesday and his comments will no doubt bounce around the football intense airwaves of South Florida for the next little while.

Williams who has spent his NFL suspension season as a running back for the Toronto Argonauts, seems to have taken a shine to his temporary home. Offering up the suggestion that he might not necessarilly be Florida bound when his CFL season comes to an end.

TSN has posted a story on its website qouting the Argo back that a return to the CFL is not out of the question in 2007. Stating that his season in Toronto has been the most fun that he's had in professional football, Williams says that he likes the idea of not being slotted into one hole in the CFL a situation that he knows will take place should he rejoin the NFL next year.

Expressing a desire to be more involved in the game, Williams says the CFL offers him that freedom to be a special teams player, a blocker or even play on the line if he wanted to. Something that the strictly regimented NFL systems would never accept.

His comments of course have been relayed to the Dolphins in Miami, leaving Dolphin head coach to say he'll deal with the Williams situation when the time comes. Williams agent Leigh Steinberg stepped up to calm the nerves of Dolphin fans by suggesting it was just Ricky being Ricky and that he would most certainly be back with the Fish in 2007.

And while an 8.6 million dollar balance of accounts and a two year Dolphin contact hanging over Williams head, conventional wisdom suggests that he'll be playing his football in Miami next year, though one must remember that Williams is a very unconventional person, so who knows, the Argos may want to keep number 27 clean and pressed for service next year, Ricky Williams is full of surprises, so you just never know.
