After a deflating NFC title game loss to the Saints, Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams said he was thinking about retiring.

Nearly four weeks later, Williams' agent says that the veteran is coming back.

"Trust me, I know what Pat Williams is doing," Angelo Wright told Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Pat Williams is playing."

Of course, he might ultimately not be playing in four of the games, given the still-pending StarCaps litigation. A ruling is expected Thursday morning on the pending motions for summary judgment filed by the league and the players.

Williams will turn 38 in October. He's due to earn a base salary of $4.25 million and a roster bonus of $250,000.
