Lenny and I were chatting about this just the other day. At first I was in the camp that thought
a) What a prick for bailing right before training camp
b) He must be doing this because of drugs
c) He is an idiot
But as MickeyG pointed out, the Fins have THE WORST offensive line in the NFL. You think for a moment that fact was not clearly evident to Ricky? He had to know it way before it was apparent to us. He didnt want to have one year where Wanny says "Rickey x 30+ plays a game". He would have been beat to shit so badly that he would have been lucky not to have career ending injuries. Ricky went through this the first year he was with the Saints and he probably was getting deja vu and decided he had to find a way out of that mess.
I actually think now that his moves were somewhat crafty. Sit out a year, maybe get free agency through some deft manuevers or get traded. One thing is for certain, all the other NFL teams were probably looking like better options than the meat grinder Wanny was going to put him through.
