At 34, Williams told the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday he won’t be
back to finish the second year of a contract he signed in August. Playing as a
backup to Ray Rice this year, Williams ran for 444 yards and scored two
touchdowns.
He became the 26th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 yards rushing, reaching the plateau in the season finale at Cincinnati.
“The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life,” Williams said. “I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly, fun. … As for what’s next, I am excited about all the opportunities ahead—continuing my education, running The Ricky Williams Foundation and whatever other opportunities present themselves.”

Williams retired once before the 2004 season when facing a four-game
suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. He returned in 2005, then
left to spend the 2006 season with Toronto of the Canadian Football League.
