Williams filed his retirement papers with the NFL earlier this week. But according to the report he would consider returning as early as next season. Last week, Williams told The Herald he had heard rumors the Raiders would offer the Dolphins a first-round pick to get his rights
To that end, Williams reportedly said California would be the only place that would accept him because there are "crazy fans who expect a weirdo."
Williams, a native of San Diego, also told Sports Illustrated that playing for the Silver and Black would be the only way he would consider a comeback.
He cited to the magazine the strength of the team's offensive line and the presence of Norv Turner, his offensive coordinator for the last two seasons in Miami, as reasons the Raiders are attractive to him.
Under Turner's watch, Williams rushed for 1,853 yards for the Dolphins in 2002.
