One of the best non-moves we made. Glad WE didn't overpay. 5-year, $41 million ($18.5 million guaranteed). Played 15 out of 32 games the last two seasons.

Wow. I was one who wanted Rice over Greenway, was I ever wrong. Luckily for Seattle, they still have TJ to save the day!!!

And our compensatory pick just dropped

My first thought. Had the potential to be a nice pick too.

And some people said Mr. Cindy wasn't "injury prone".

And are still upset that we didn't sign him.

Bummer! We need the best picks we can get.

Made. Of. Glass.

I doubt he'll still be in the league at 30 years old.

I'm happy with the decision the Vikings made ... but I hate to hear that about Rice.

Aside from his injuries he seemed like a good guy. I hate to see his career go the way it has especially with so much potential.

We know he won't get hurt again....huh?!

I think ol' Pete has a serious issue with historical facts. First he claims that TJack got a raw deal in Minnesota and was never given a fair shot, then he says the team knows Rice won't get hurt again? What kind of retarded statement is that?

Rice is a cry baby wimp I hope he never amounts to anything for the seachickens

Concussions are much different from other injuries. In the future we're going to see a lot more players being placed on IR after suffering multiple concussions in a short time span during the season.

^I had the same thought. Look at Jahvid Best; I doubt he'll be back this year.

I wouldn't stop there. I don't know how franchise can count on him for the long haul.

No, he won't. He was placed on IR on Monday. In addition to Rice and Best there's Hussain Abdullah and Kris Dielman. Austin Collie last year. I'm sure there have been more and the trend will continue to grow.

He must be related to Randoll Smith since Sidney and Randoll are both made of glass

Suddenly, that concussion that kept him out of the final game in 2010 no one talked about seems a lot more significant. At least he got paid, going to the one team willing to pay him was the best business decision for him. I just hope he lasts the full length of his contract. Sad though, probably a 5th round pick at best.

Good work there, Seattle.

I don't get how one can be labeled "made of glass" because of multiple concussions. It's a traumatic brain injury, how exactly is that preventable by anyone?

Sid suffered multiple concussions?? I didnt realize that, I though he was on IR for a shoulder or something??

He had a labrum injury in his shoulder early in the season but it was two concussions a few weeks apart that put him on IR.

anyone know what pick we are getting for him 5th round ??

just guessing

Hard to say, probably nothing more than a 5th round pick though. Oh well, we will get a couple more picks as well since we lost a lot and didn't sign anyone to significant.

Sidney Rice had surgery in the off season on BOTH shoulders. The Seahawks drafted WR Golden Tate out of Notre Dame in the 2nd round, signed Antonio Bryant in the offseason and now just signed Braylon Edwards to shore up their receiving corps.

I hope Rice can recover, but yeah, it was a wise decision for the Vikings to let him walk.

ESPECIALLY for the money Seattle paid him. So is Rice out for awhile with the surgeries?

Likely just for the preseason. Until he's hurt again getting out of his gold jetcarboat.

Lol... Well, the more things change...

He's been practicing, but they had him wearing a red jersey to open camp, so nobody would touch him. I think they're also hoping the NFL will allow him to wear that jersey when the regular season begins.

Lol... WOW, how embarrassing for him.

he is so weak ... he needs a big pink jersey instead

so glad we didn't pay big for him

sydeny rice is a one hit wonder, thats all he seems to be now. Injuries suck

favre made rice.
glad he is not a viking anymore so injury prone.
