There was talk a few weeks ago, I thought, that he would have to declare bankruptcy because he doesn't have the money to pay back the signing bonus.
Doesn't the marijuana busts put him out of the lineup without pay - but not having to return the signing bonus - for a year?

I think that's his real point. Failing a drug test (which is automatic if he is un-retired) carries an indefinite suspension for Ricky (probably one year). Realistically, the guy would have been better off showing up to training camp puffing on a joint than doing what he did (to the tune of 8.6 million!). He would have got the year off just the same, so it seems like his agent failed him pretty miserably.
