Ricky Williams agrees to terms with the Ravens, per league source.

This is a great move. Take RB off the list of needs!

[flynismo]

Pass.

[I AM LEGEND]

Like it

[Gtown Purple]

Fairly obvious we need a backup to Ray but would have preferred someone else.

[Purple Nurple]

Is this real life? al la Jimmy after dentist.........

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

There's our backup RB I suppose. Not a bad pickup.

[Moderator 3]

Well that came out of left field.

[Jaydoog]

Good Good Good Pickup

[DieHardBMoreFan]

A backup is a backup, just hope he has some good gas left in the tank.

[Token]

He's still got some left in the tank, nice signing.

You got that right! I think I like it.

[FlaccoFlicker]

definitly a surprise,not sue how I feel about it lol

[PuRock]

34 y.o Running back with well over 2k carries. I don't know what to expect out of him besides his name. It's Ricky 'freakin' Williams, man!

Would rather go with the youth. Probably brought him in on a vet minimum contract.

[xxhighriser]

last year he had almost 300 more yards and a higher ypc average then willis mcgahee. i like the signing

I'm going to have to think about it since it's not something I ever even considered.

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

It's a two year contract. He'll be great at the goal line behind Leach.

[BloodRaven]

Yes he's 34, but last season he posted a 4.2ypc average. Ageless wonder.

[mhead66]

$2 million a year...???

Super Bowl confirmed


Not sure what kind of Super Bowl, but there will be a bowl involved and it will be [i]suuuuuper[/i].

[gabefergy]

Interesting. Not a bad move if we got him for 1M, now we just need to secure some O-line depth.

Edit: Not sure I love a 2 year deal, but it looks like it is incentive laden so doubtful it reaches a full 4M. I was hoping Anthony Allen would have a role this year, but that looks less likely now.

[FerrariFan87]

He averaged 4.4 YPC against the Steelers last year, so you know he can still run.

[ghost1986]

wow. that just blew my mind.

[lgcs27288]

Pretty much a Rice clone, just bigger. He has good hands so he could be another threat when Rice needs a break.

[Token]

So does this mean Anthony Allen to the PS?

[display name]

Allright! Wonder what will happen to Parmele, though.

[flynismo]

Just keep him away from David Reed.

[dpatrickguy]

solid pickup. he should benefit from running behind leach

[Pääjärvi]

Noooooo,now my dream of watching Tiki Barber in a Ravens uniform is shot

[PurpleandBlackBlood]

good pickup
