Ravens RB Williams To Be Paid in Drugs
According to NFL source, veteran running back and Bob Marley super-fan Ricky Williams has agreed to a rather unconventional, and downright felonious, two-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The team will announce the deal on Monday, pending Williams passing a physical. Instead of getting paid millions of dollars, the running back worked out a deal between the Ravens and his long time drug dealer to pay him $2.5 million dollars worth of marijuana in 2011. The contract could also include some escalators that would increase his compensation to $4 million worth of pot, the source told brownieman.net. The 34-year-old Williams has 9,565 yards rushing in 131 career games. Not bad for someone who admittedly smoked his weight in weed before each game. In 2010, he rushed for 673 yards for the Miami Dolphins while sharing the football and his bong with Ronnie Brown. Williams had been with the Dolphins since 2002, longer than any other player on their roster. His longevity is a surprise considering he retired for a season in 2004 to spend time working for a Columbian drug cartel. He then had a brief stint as Editor in Chief for High Times magazine and played in only one NFL game in 2006-07.
