Simeon Rice released by Bucs then Broncos. Now a Colt.

Detroit makes a lot of sense given his relationship with Rod Marinelli. Of course the first thing I thought when I heard he was released was "maybe the Skins can get him" ... but, after some reflection, I think that might be a bad thing in the long term (i.e. after this season). Of course he won't sign for the vet min, that is crazy, so how would signing Rice affect the Skins ability to sign their own guys (esp. Cooley)? Also, the Bucs apparently released him because he failed a physical and has not recovered from the shoulder injury that limited him to only 2 sacks last year. Do the Skins really want that backage? I'd say we'd be better off to just let him go to Detroit and Chris Samuels can just be happy that Simeon won't terrorize him as he has so many times in the past when we have played the Bucs.

Bruce Smith had a ten sack year here in dc, which I would take from Rice, Carter, or anyone lined up on our d-line. Rice is a bit injury prone, but worth the risk.

I'm on the fence with him. I still have ill feelings from the Bruce Smith era, he was only out for himself and his record IMO.. I think Rice has some of the same selfishness and would buck Grilliams a little if he impeded his style (see Archuleta, Adam)..

On the other hand, he instantly (if healthy) becomes far and away the best pass rusher on the team and someone capable of 6-8 sacks.. With him on one side & Carter on the other that will cause some double teams and open gaps for Landry or Taylor to blitz thru.. I wonder how much of his 'failing the physical' was contract related since they asked him to restructure and he refused.

Forget Simeon Rice, We need to sign Ron Jeremy to a Vet.Min contract. That guy can plug up some holes....

GIGGIDY!

Well, Matty's post shows that he is still injured (failed physical) so I'm going to have to back away from him unless we're talking SMALL money. I have no problem giving him 1 mil with huge incentives.
