He was cut because he could not pass a physical and his shoulder is still not healed yet. The guy is rode hard, put up wet and injured.

Why sign a guy to a contract if he is not going to be able to contribute?

The only team that needs to sign a guy like Rice is one which needs depth at the position. the 'Skins need someone who can come in and contribute from the start.

Pass of Rice, watch the waiver wire during camp and you could find someone with more miles on him.

He was cut because he became expendable after the signing of Gaines Adams. I think they made a mistake.

Yeah, but cutting Rice is a good football move for them if he truly is injured...and it will likely make space for signing someone like Culpepper.

Why in the hell does TB need any more QB's. They got like 3 that have started at one time or another and another one who thinks he's retired. Another QB would be a stupid move.

Get one injured player for another? How many QB's does that team need anyway?

SR will not become a REDSKIN.

Ok, I'm agreeing with a Dallas fan. We did scouting reports on rice and they came back poor so the Skins did not persue him and have no intentions of bringing him to Redskins park. So this is a non issue.

ESPN - Rice spends time with Giants, but others interested - NFL

Well, the Redskins could be more interested than we thought.

Need to sign Rice i rather have him than Daniels any day.

CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR · 07-29-2007, 06:28 PM

try to sign him at least cant be anyworse than the ends we have now

SBXVII · 07-29-2007, 08:17 PM

I hope you all are correct that Simeons last days are behind him. Just read on the NFL network that the Giants are bringing him in on the 31st for a try out because Strahan (sp) is holding out. Not that I'm scared of the Giants or think we need to sign Simeon so the Giants won't get him but I hope he is damaged goods and does not perform very well especially when we play them if they sign him.

Sorry I meant the NFL.com

Rice is a turnover forcing machine. He has 32 forced fumbles throughout his career. 2 years ago he had 6 FF's. This team needs someone like that. Who knows maybe Andre Carter will live up to his contract.

JankySpanky80 · 07-29-2007, 10:54 PM

The skins are known for bringing in bigtime players and they usually get blasted by several media outlets for it. Sometimes they deserve it and sometimes they don't. Simeon Rice would bring praise b/c he brings big play potential. Its a mistake to let someone else sign him. They got the cap to do it. Hopefully the dan can go over gibbs head on this one.

Meks · 07-30-2007, 01:47 AM

i think its a good move no doubt.

The Zimmermans · 07-30-2007, 11:41 AM

Rice is old, came from a better defense, and didn't produce last year. Let's not go near him. I'd rather save up for future years, three year contract would be a stupid decision, he has one year left at best

skinsttw · 08-01-2007, 07:56 PM

If we can get him cheap, then let him try to make the team. He is a gamer.
