New incentives for Ricky Williams give him a chance to earn more than $4 million in bonuses this season under terms of his contract reworked by the Miami Dolphins.
The team and Williams agreed to a new incentive package that makes it easier for him to earn bonuses, Dolphins senior vice president Rick Spielman said Monday. Williams ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in his Dolphins debut to help them beat Detroit 49-21.
The new deal revises the eight-year contract Williams signed after New Orleans took him with the fifth pick in the 1999 draft.
That contract, negotiated by rapper Master P's agency, contained large incentives -- many difficult to achieve -- and low base salaries, including the NFL minimum of $450,000 this season. Williams later fired Master P and hired Leigh Steinberg as his agent. More NFL news, C4.
