The [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] elected to release wide receiver Sidney Rice on Friday. It's unsurprising that the decision was made, given that Rice was set to make way too much money thanks to his five-year, $41 million contract that was signed in 2011. He's dealt with injuries and has struggled on the field since signing that deal, and the $7.3 million the Seahawks will create in cap savings with his release was always too much to pass up. It wouldn't be surprising to see Rice return on a cheaper deal, but it's likely another team will pay him more than Seattle will to take a chance.
Danny Kelly of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] talks about the potential to be re-signed:

Rice caught 15 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 8 games in 2013. It should be interesting to see, once this move happens, if Rice gets much interest on the free agent market. Most likely, I could see a team offering him a one-year 'prove it' type of deal that mitigates the obvious injury risk that comes along with Rice's knee and history. If the market is cold for the veteran, it's possible that Seattle re-signs him to a short term deal that keeps him with the team and hedges their roster for free agency and the Draft. Perhaps that's a deal they're trying to work on with Rice's representation this week in Indianapolis (hence, the "no decisions have been made" comment from the team). Stay tuned.

Mr Jennings? There's some old, wrinkled, creepy fuck at the door. Say's he's some sort of *Ghost of Christmas Knucklefuck Future* or some shit--wonderin' why you passed on $13M/year from a team who would have carried your ass past your prime -vs- $9.5M/year from a team who'll put you on a path in another year of having to call up Darren Sharper for tips on how to get laid...
