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

Bill Romanowski had a history of getting out of hand on the field. Williams took him to court seeking $3.4 million. Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice, who had played with Romanowski, said that he had “crossed the line” in an admittedly violent sport. Williams was awarded $340,000. Though this 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.”
