FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Ricky Williams has to sit out the 2006 NFL season for failing a fourth drug test, but a Canadian Football League franchise is making a pitch for the suspended tailback.
The Toronto Argonauts placed Williams on their 35-player negotiations list, which means that they own exclusive rights to contact him. Argonauts assistant GM Greg Mohns spoke to Williams' agent Leigh Steinberg on Thursday.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to Ricky about it, but any consideration given to that opportunity would be done in consultation with the Dolphins because (coach) Nick Saban's perspective and their permission is imperative," Steinberg said.
