OAKLAND, Calif. -- Former Oakland Raiders teammates Marcus Williams and Bill Romanowski are settling their legal dispute.

Williams sued his former teammate after getting hit in the face by Romanowski during a practice drill in 2003. The pair announced Friday that Romanowski is agreeing to pay $415,000 to resolve the litigation.

Williams' career ended after his eye socket was broken by Romanowski, who ripped off Williams' helmet during a practice drill and hit him in the face.

Romanowski retired that year, and a jury in March ordered him to pay Williams $340,000 in damages.

Williams was not happy with the jury's verdict, and was seeking a new trial until the two sides agreed to end the dispute.

Williams, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2002, played in 13 games as a rookie during Oakland's Super Bowl season. He was used primarily on special teams but was trying to earn a regular position during his sophomore season before he was injured.

The Raiders have claimed they are not responsible for any damages, and fined Romanowski $60,000. Romanowski was not charged with a crime.

romo is a stupid fuck. I have always hated the guy.

yea he's an idiot. good thing he's done with, we'll be better off this year without him...

what set him off?

Whats the league min. like 200- 300K a year?? this guy could have played another 10 years. He ended his career. 450K? I would be pissed if I didn't get more like 4 - 5 million. Williams got robbed.

450k is a shitload of money to get just for taking a punch...

roids, stupidity.. ?? why knows that guy was a hot head jerk.

did you not read the article you posted. The punch ended his career. He can't play football and he lost all future earning. I don't care if it was a bitch slap. he ended his career and prevented him from making a lot of money, he should be responsible for all future money lost, he most of had a shitty lawyer for only getting 450K

Yeah but its not a shitload of money to a football player. The guy who got hit isn't going to play anymore.

a punch ?

the guy had to retire ...

he was weak anyways LOL...

he broke his eyesocket you idiots

I think he got off easy.

Wake up, you can't compare this situation to your everyday brawls. This punch ended the guy's career and his ability to make a lot more than 415k. Also, this wasn't a back and forth fight, Romo sucker punched him, he was probably still on the juice a let roid rage get to him.

yep... dude ended his career... he should've got a couple million at least :2 cents:


..

idiot not idiot(s) only one person here who thinks the punch wasnt a big deal.

i know your kidding...

started 12 games as a ROOKIE... not weak at all.

he wont be missed...

totally irrelvant to the situation.... and correction. 13 games started as a rookie on a superbowl team. He couldn't have been too bad.

Roman is in this stupid flick with Adam Sandler, "all nine yards" or something like that.

yea he was decent. but next year we gonna be so hard as long as the defense comes through...

yea that shit looks corny as fuck...

Fair enough, damage someones body and ruin their career and you better get out your bank book to pay for the damages

He deserves such verdict!

He should be forced to pay much more...wtf

I just feel bad for the guy he probably dreamed about getting to the NFL his whole life and then to have it ruined by an asshole like that.

I was thinking the same thing. Sucks that his career was shattered by a punch to the eye.
