Rice to seahawks?

[Michael Davis]

Sorry, but let's be real here. Dynasty already pointed this out.

Jerry Rice is pretty close to a joke at this stage. Darrell Jackson and Koren Robinson are talented receivers who have a problem holding onto the ball. But you still have to get open, and this is something these guys can do and Rice cannot.

Bobby Engram is an underrated 3rd receiver. And Alex Bannister is young and has promise. I don't rate Rice as better than either of these last two guys and I know he is worse than Jackson/Robinson. If any changes should be made with the Seahawks, they should perhaps replace Robinson with the more reliable Engram.

I don't think anyone will trade for Jerry Rice because the simple truth is that he can't help anyone right now. He is behind Whitted and Gabriel on the depth chart. That should tell you something.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Seahawkss are close to trading for Jerry Rice.

It appears a big reason why this is going down is that Koren Robinson is facing a suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. The details of Robinson's situation are not clear.

Well he gave himself away when he said that the Patriots weren't that good a team. The NFL must have said what the hell is this guy smoking?

Great line.

I wouldn't mind seeing Robinson gone for a few games, since he's been catching passes like he's doped up. Maybe in the huddle they should tell him they're throwing donuts.

Fox is reporting that Rice was traded to the Seahawks for a 7th round pick.

Dick Butkus is on the waiver wire.

Just on the news. Traded for a 7th round pick. Word is a suspension is coming for Rob for substance abuse. If i was playing the way he was, i'd start doing it myself. The dork.

The hawks rec. corps sucks. Way overrated. The reason D-jac hasn't dropped as many is they aren't throwing his way as much. Engram's the only guy and he's 3rd down and slot. Other than that, who else do they have?

Both guys should be gone next season. Think of Hassles' numbers if he had some guys that could catch.

Playcalling is another issue. Love that run up the middle with about a min. left down by 2 scores. Fantastic call!!!

Also the wonderful 3 man rush on defense against the Pats. Way to put pressure on a top QB. Wonderful.

Now as far as the defensive line...

if you can get jerry rice for that it seems almost negligent not to.

how many times is a seventh round pick going to do anything, ever.

Priest Holmes was undrafted. There are WRs out of football as good as Jerry Rice.
