Well countless knee surgeries later, and injuries even though he is still playing he doesnt have the burst he used to have. We can safely say he gave it his all. Of course he wont get anywhere close to his rookie contract, this is hoping he saved up.

He has zero chance of landing with any team.

Also, don’t think Caddy has missed a game in 2 years.

Last year, in some articles I read, he did an outstanding job as a 3rd down back.

“Jeff Reynolds of Pro Football Weekly predicted Williams was the rookie most likely to have the greatest impact in the 2005 NFL season, writing that “at the Senior Bowl, Jon Gruden was salivating over this kid. He pulled him out real early. Don’t think that was a coincidence. He’s the offense. Gruden has set it up, Cadillac or bust”.”

=======
Jon Gruden salivating over a college player? Sounds eerily too familiar.

I was high on him as a Packer and frustrated when they tried to stash him on the practice squad and lost him.

But he’d definitely have to take an almost insulting contract. I guess it’s still better than what most of us make, and pretty good money for a guy who has had a pretty sad injury history since coming into the league.

You did so much for our community and showed us that if you get knocked down when things were going great, you have to pick yourself up and put those pads back on.

The words “respect” and “gratitude” doesn’t even begin to describe how much we love you here Caddy.

BTW, I still hope to see you again on the felt at the Hard Rock sometime even if you leave…

None of the other backs on the Bucs can pick up a blitzing LB like he can yet. You need him to be in there when you play teams with good D-lines and/or like to blitz, which is the case with 2 teams in the NFC South and the case with the opener.

Granted, the NFC South always seems to have 1-2 solid contenders (In last year’s case, 3 teams) every season; however, between the Ravens and especially the Steelers, the AFC North is without question the best division in football over the past 10 years.

A good division, but not the best. The NFC East, for example, holds ELEVEN of all 45 Super Bowls… that’s almost one Super Bowl in that division every four years, which is absolutely ridiculous when you think about it.

I see 4 of them staying. the city of tampa loves cadi…but i think his time has come. He was a great 3rd down back last year…but i think there are some FA out there who could come in and be even better spell back if bradford/lumpkin dont impress the coaches.

Reggie bush anyone?

Caddy was a nice ride…but ride over. Aside from my PANTHERS, I believe this is one of the youngest teams in the league…The Caddy dont fit in the fleet any more…just my opinion.

Doesn’t sound good for Caddy

He was a great buc and a better leader on a young team that desperatly needed it, he just didn’t have the same burst after the knee surgeries..

You will be missed Caddy, here’s to hoping you can find an opportunity to play somewhere else.

You will always be a Buc!

Raheem doesn’t trust Blount on 3rd down. Hate to see him go.
