The Facts:
Williams' strong rapport with Nick Saban is part of the reason why the retired running back is contemplating a return. Williams and Saban have had "some steady dialogue in the last 10 days," said agent Leigh Steinberg, who would not discuss specifics. "Ricky has expressed a desire and excitement about returning to the Dolphins and playing football this season," Steinberg said. "He's keeping in shape and has been involved in a rigorous training program."

Of course, we've heard from pretty much everybody involved here -- except, of course, Williams. We'll remind you again that if he returns, Williams would have to wait until July to un-retire. Otherwise, he would face a one-year suspension for his violations of the NFL's substance-abuse program. He'll owe the league a four-game suspension if he returns to the game in July.
