Marcus A. Williams (born December 12, 1977) is a former backup tight end for the Oakland Raiders who was forced to retire in 2003 after teammate Bill Romanowski broke his eye socket with a punch.
Lawsuit
Williams took Romanowski to court seeking $3.4 million. Williams was awarded $340,000, which was only a tenth of what he sought. Williams said that it was not really about the money but that he and his attorneys "just wanted to prove what was right and wrong about football."
