Can anyone answer this for me? Ricky was saying that he had a desire to play for the Raiders after sitting out the length of his contract with the Dolphins. It was my understanding that if a player does not fulfill his contractual obligations to the team by not playing that the years on the contract stay on. A situation similar to Barry Sanders when he retired and how he couldn't just sit out for a few years and then go play for another team. Has the NFL changed the rules about this, or am I missing something?
