[Yahoo]RB Ricky Williams applies for reinstatement to NFL Would Texans be interested?

No.

Evan

 

I doubt he'll be that good anymore, but he can't be much worse then Dayne. I'll sign him for the league minimum and take a chance. After all he was just smoking weed, not killing dogs......

 

In other news, the Astros finally made a World Series.

Lock it.

 

The Texans don't sign LOSERS.

Mrs. Jones will probably sign him for the Cowgirls!

 

No way McNair shells out money to Rickey.

If Rickey signs anywhere, it will be with the Raiders.

 

I would take a chance after seeing what ron dayne did the last game we definitely need more depth at rb and right now anything would help if there is still no ahman green

 

Would you sign a comma or a period even if it had smoked week before?

 

sure. he has talent (or had, we'll see) and isn't a malcontent or a locker room cancer. as long as we realize he is completely undependable when it comes to drug tests, I'm all for it

 

the nfl players didn't hate on ricky williams, he was just wierd PM Darm guy who walks around barefooted. didn't seem like a cancer. plus if you are an nfl player and you wanted to get some good chronic, why not have a friend on the team who wants to talk about world peace and smoke one with you?

 

then why did we sign Ron Dayne? he wasn't exactly a hot commodity

Ricky Williams is better than that slow guy

 

If Ricky could get into game shape around the halfway mark of the season it would be a great gamble. Kinda reminds me of Bonzi. If you can get him for a reasonable price way not.

 

for the min. i woudl take him.

 

I don't see Mr. McNair spending money on Ricky Williams. Is he still getting high? Isn't he still serving suspension time?

Steinberg said Williams was in "great shape" and "great spirits." He said Williams has been working with a personal trainer and continues to teach yoga.

 

as long as you don't really count on him for anything, I don't see the problem in bringing him in.

 

exactly. low risk, high reward. it's the same theory the cowgirls used with terrell owens and tank johnson. there are no guaranteed contracts in the nfl, so what's the real risk in signing ricky?

if he fails a test, cut him. if he doesn't perform well, cut him.

i guess the worse case scenario is that he would come in and do very well under kubes. then, when he becomes an integral part of the team, he gets popped for herb. that's the worse case i can think of, and that isn't terrible to me because it's not like we would be getting rid of our current backs in order to sign ricky. it's not like we are choosing ricky over another proven, available running back on the free agent market. it's ricky or more of what we've been seeing lately...

it's a no brainer, imho.

 

i'd bring him in

 

I might join the bandwagon if Ricky is on it. If New England picks him up then they are straight up cheaters.

• Word is Ricky Williams, who applied for NFL reinstatement Monday, has been living in Boston the past few months and meeting regularly with a therapist for counseling on life issues. He rejected a proposal to do a reality show but is mulling an offer to do a yoga video. He hopes to generate interest from, in particular, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Dallas, Houston or New England, assuming Miami dumps him.

 

I doubt miami lets him go to New England.
He really wants to come back to Texas from the interviews I've heard. Hopefully Houston and not dallas. He wants out of florida, too many people pissed at him there
