On how many teams tried to get him on their active roster last season:

Williams: “I can’t remember exactly, but I know it was between five and 10.”

On why he didn’t leave; it would have been a lot more money:

Williams: “Money is not an issue for me. I feel like when you chase money, you’re chasing the wrong thing. I’m chasing happiness. The Cowboys have always been my favorite team since I can remember. The Cowboys made me fall in love with football. I’m thinking about the bigger picture, and that’s Ryan Williams being happy. Set aside from everything else, the money is always going to be there. I grew up — my mother never made money like this, and she raised three grown boys by herself. So if I can grow up in that household with the money that she made I can live life easily with the money that I’m making now. So money isn’t a big thing. It’s the dream. It’s almost surreal because ea lot of these players grew up with a favorite team and probably went through the draft thong that they would be drafted by their favorite team. I ended up not doing that, but luckily I ended up being with my favorite team so everything happens for a reason, and I really feel like God has been on my side.”

On what team looked like it might not have been a bad situation for him:

Williams: “You know what, any time my agent called me, I said ‘no.’ I told him to decline every team, regardless of what was going on. I didn’t care who called, where they’re from, what they was offering; I wanted to be right here. Because you know what, it’s bigger than that. Not many times you can go into an organization and you can fall in love with the coaches, you can fall in love with the system, you can fall in love with the trainers. Everything about this organization made me want to be here. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I’m not happy. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I don’t like the coach. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I feel like something is being said about me which shouldn’t be said about me, because it’s not right. I want to be right here.”

On not being a part of the team last year on Sundays:

Williams: “I wouldn’t’ say it was that difficult, but

Ok. Thanks for linking this article. It actually appealed considerably to my compassionate side and may have just made me become a Ryan Williams fan. Wow... I'm still on that AD/AP train though.

You have Emmitt in your sig and Al Pacino in your avi, you have to be pretty cool for that alone.

How do you know Ryan?

Thanks bud, appreciate that. Emmitt and Al are my top two mancrushes of all time.

That said, I was just trying to be funny/ironic. I don't know Ryan Williams. :)

This guy continues to show he's all heart.

I see no reason to disbelieve other teams were interested in him. He's confirmed it twice now, unless he's just straight-up lying. If he were, though, DAL probably wouldn't have coughed up a decent signing bonus.

"There’s nothing compared to being bashed by the media, being looked at differently from everybody else. There’s nothing compared to that. So I came from that. I’m too strong for anybody now, for anything now. If anybody got something to say about me, I laugh at it, I just tell them to watch me work."

I agree. The signing bonus was almost like a big "thank you" from the Cowboys for not leaving. I think Williams might've gotten some indication Murray was on his way out and the starting running back job was going to become up for grabs.

Now we know why ap needs 13mill

Yeah...it would really be something if the Vikes were to release him and he signs in Dallas for about 5-6 million. That is why I really don't think AP will come to Dallas...but it would be nice if it did! lol

I know Ryan Williams personally, and trust me, he's being sincere.

Then again, you guys don't know me personally, so you have no idea whether or not I'm being sincere.

Noooooooooice EnR! :laugh:

Takes a lot for a guy like me (a UVA guy) to develop a man crush on a Hokie football player before he graduates, but I loved the way Ryan Williams played football when he was in Blacksburg and hated seeing the way his pro career started out. I'm glad he's in Dallas. Kid can play.

I don't worry about his blocking ability, his ability to catch the ball or his size. I worry about his knee.

Running backs have to get their pay when they can get it. Murray had to cash in because this was his one and only chance to do so. AP would love to play for Dallas; but if they were willing to give him what he wants than they wouldn't have let Murray go. I've moved on from Peterson hopes.

In Finance it's called "your propensity to consume"....and that gets many rich people in trouble. They try and live beyond their means and eventually lose everything.

In Murray's case, is it really that much different from 6 mil to 8 mil in the grand scheme of things?

Money cannot buy happiness and I think Murray is going to find that out.

Think about it...lol. If Williams wins a SB with the Cowboys making peanuts compared to what Murray makes...who will have more happiness?

Yeah. It had to be fait accompli.

Murray told everyone in the press conference he went to Philly because it was his best chance to win a Super Bowl.
