offyourocker Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The guy is 6.4 and could the missing piece in our wr corp. i know he comes off injury but sign him to a heavily incentive contract. He is really good receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The guy is gifted but seemingly never healthy enough to actualize his full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offyourocker Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 The guy is gifted but seemingly never healthy enough to actualize his full potential. Agree. I think we have decent wr corp and it could be low risk/ high reward to bring him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) sign him to a heavily incentive contract. He is really good receiver. Perhaps sydney rice doesn't want a cheap incentive base contract and wants the contract of a really good WR? Especially if poor qb play may hurt his chances to reach the incentives Edited March 18, 2014 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 always hurt and 8 years removed from his 1 yes 1 special season......same reasons no one else is touching him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would look into Miles Austin first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offyourocker Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Miles would not bring anything wood can't do. I would take Rice 748 yards from 2012. I know he has not been great but he would bring that one dimension we are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would take Rice 748 yards from 2012. I know he has not been great but he would bring that one dimension we are missing. I never even heard of Sidney Rice until he played for Seahawks in 2012. Living in the area, I see a a lot of their games. He had great year in 2012. Maybe some may scoff that he only got 748 yards, but he caught many huge balls that year. Several late 4th quarters catches for TDs or to set up TDs resulting in wins. I remember one in particular where late int he 4th quarter Wilson throws a 40 yard pass or so to Rice who had a DB draped on him but he dove for it and caught it. Seahawks went on to get the score and win. He can go up in a crowd and come down with the football. I'd roll the dice on the injury thing. He did play 16 games in 2012 plus playoffs. I'd even give him a big contract. Sign him and still draft someone in the first 2 rounds like Watkins, Evans, or Moncrief. Nothing helps a mediocre QBs like good sure handed WRs.

H2o Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Maybe if we come out of the draft without landing any of the big WR targets we are looking at, but not now. He had a monster year with Minnesota back in 2009 when they had Brett Favre and parlayed it into a nice contract. He has been brittle ever since. 2012 was his last full season and he didn't do much, but the Seahawks are a power/run first team anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 2012 was his last full season and he didn't do much, but the Seahawks are a power/run first team anyway. Obviously you didn't watch many Seahawks games in 2012 (no problem with that). He was a monster. He played a big part in the emergence of the Seahawks and Russel Wilson on the scene. He was huge in many games. He could greatly help our team and young QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If the price is right, you must invite. I like that line. And I agree with it here. He must be asking too much, because he would be a great addition with an incentive laden contract or games played contract since health is his main issue.

Jamie Nails Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 We haven't pursued because we already have a poor man's version on our roster in 6'6' Ramses Barden http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5207/ramses-barden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
