Fins have 2 weeks to decide what to do with him

''It was a welcoming discussion and encouraging with respect to Ricky,'' Steinberg said. ``There was no discussion of anything but a return to the Dolphins.''

Steinberg said Williams will fly to Miami and meet with coach Cam Cameron and other team officials Thursday. He said Williams can begin practicing as early as Friday.

Dolphins are 0-9 and they lost brown for the season. I see why not bring ricky back to the team? I would rather start ricky over chatman any day.

No matter what cam does, he is our new scapegoat coach. There is no right move here, but I'd sign him.

he is commencing practice with the team on Monday, and isn't even eligible to play until Next Monday -- but they have 2 weeks to activate him or decide what to do with him.
