The Facts:
The Dolphins have signed Williams to a one-year contract extension that will keep him in the Miami backfield through 2009, a source close to the veteran running back said. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Saturday that there was no signing bonus, but Williams' salary in 2009 could increase significantly over this year's base of $730,000. Dolphins officials had no comment on Williams' new pact.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Mortensen, Williams can increase his 2008 compensation with easily achievable incentives, the source said. Williams, 31, was scheduled to be a free agent in '09. Already a Bill Parcells favotire, Williams has been widely viewed as one of the most impressive players on the roster starting with off-season workouts. He'll be the Week 1 starter at tailback and, teamed with Ronnie Brown, will give the Dolphins' rushing attack a formidible one-two punch.
