Sidney Rice likely will be cut by Seattle Seahawks

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Sidney Rice's days in Seattle are numbered.

The Seahawks are likely to part ways with the high-priced wide receiver in order to create salary-cap space to retain key free agents, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday's "NFL Total Access," per a source familiar with the Seahawks' thinking.

Rice is due $9.7 million in 2014 and his departure would create $7.3 million in cap savings, giving general manager John Schneider wiggle room to secure Golden Tate and Michael Bennett, the team's biggest free-agent priorities, per Rapoport.

Another option to create salary-cap room? Zach Miller. The team likely will approach the tight end with a request for Miller to take a pay cut, per Rapoport. The Seahawks would save $5 million under the cap if they cut Miller outright.

Rice sucks!! Dont want him.

Decker
Boldin
Nicks
Cooper

These are the only FA WRs im even interested in.

He was good with Favre when he was healthy. I'd rather keep Decker though.

[Dapper Dan]

It makes sense. He didn't earn his pay. Anyways, I think Seattle likes short players.

[BroncoNut]

is he related to Jerry Rice?

I'd really like a guy like Maclin. He can stretch the field more than anyone in that group. It would be awesome to have another guy to take the top off the defense.

I'd want to keep Decker more than anyone else, but if we are going else where in free agency, then I think either Maclin Or Sydney Rice would be great pick ups. Both are coming off injuries so their market price would be down. Rice has been more injury prone in the past, so I would take Maclin 1st.
