MIAMI (Ticker) - Ricky Williams will apparently have to pay a handsome sum for his early departure from the Miami Dolphins.

According to a report on ESPN.com, the Dolphins on Friday won their grievance against Ricky Williams, who announced his retirement from the NFL in July at the age of 27.

Arbitrator Richard Bloch entitled the Dolphins to receive repayments totaling $8,616,353 in incentives and signing bonus. Richard Berthelsen of the NFL Players Association, who argued on Williams' behalf at the arbitration hearing Tuesday, confirmed Bloch's decision.

I really can\'t blame Ricky for wanting to leave the Fins. They have some of the same problems as the Saints. ( HC ) How ever your point is well taken.

and if he claims bankruptcy, he could become a free agent. What a way to make a trade,

Here\'s some support for the free agency theory.
