Vikings DT Pat Williams Sounds Like He Won't Retire Despite StarCaps Ruling

With the Minnesota Appeals Court ruling in favor of the NFL in the never-ending StarCaps case, it looks like a suspension is on the way for the Vikings’ Williams Wall. Pat Williams might not care at this point as the veteran nose tackle claims he’s done fighting. "I just want it to be over," Williams told Brian Murphy of the Pioneer Press. "If I lose, I lose. I'm not mad at anybody. Right now, I want it to be over because it's cost me so much money, close to $1 million (in legal fees). It ain't cheap." The NFL says it has yet to determine the next step, though four-game suspensions are all but certain. Williams, who will be 39 next year, believes he may actually benefit from sitting four games, as it will help keep him fresh down the stretch. He’s toyed with the idea of retirement the past few years, and he’s coming off a season in which he fought through a torn triceps but the 14-year veteran has no thoughts of hanging ‘em up this offseason. "I can't quit,” Williams said. “At the end of the day, I still love what I do. I'm an old throwback. Just love getting on that field Sundays and battling it out."
