Tree offers his retrospective on the Ricky Williams trade

SAINTSFAN said

It was really not as huge of a failure as it seems. We got back 2 1st rounders when we traded RW and Ditka said if we stayed where we were, we were drafting Cade McNown.

Not only that but Ricky was in the top 20 all time for rushing yards when he retired. If the NFL didn't test for weed back then there's a good chance he would have been top 10, possibly a hall of famer. He was a very good running back. It was just stupid of Ditka to tell the whole world who he wanted and how much he would pay.
