This guy will probably get a 4-6 Millon a year on a 3 year deal.
He's being cut cause he would cost the bucs 10mil on their cap.
I dont think the Skins will go there.
If the skins can get him for under 2.5 mil/year I say do it.....but....that just aint gunna happen folks.
Talk about presure...this guy is good...better than anyone we've got.
I know he's old...but when he's on....watch out.
I do like the guy.
Y'all tell me if I'm smoking crack
I can't see you so how would I know?

I gotta correct myself here...
He aint gunna get no 4-6 mil/year....he actually failed his physical cause of his bad shoulder....
Max he gets is 3 ....if someone want to take a chance....
I still say we give him a shot at 2 mil.. assuming the physical was rigged to get him off the roster.

Skins Nut, welcome, one minute questioning your own crack habit & the next filling us in on Rice's shoulder - good work!
I was wondering why they would wait till now to cut him, didn't seem to make much sense. He had a bad year last year too. It's sounding more & more like he's not worth signing.

Well, we cant rush the passer either....I would like a line that can do at least one of the two jobs they are supposed to do!
Heck, a linebackers job is to tackle first....maybe we should use them for that! Using a LB as a pass rusher is only pointing out that we do not have a pass rushing line worth a crap.....I say we sign him if he passes a physical.
He's probably better that anyone we have now!.....while injured!
(ok, maybe Andre Carter is as good as a 33 year old injured Simeon Rice, but its close)

Heya Freddie....WHAZZUP!
Thanks for the welcome...
I think they waited out his release so they could get Gaines Adams under contract first.....if they cut Rice first that would have given the Rookie serious leverage with his contract.....and a potential hold out.
Just my opinion though...
PS....crack is bad for you

Fuggadaboutittt!!!!!!! If Rice is refusing to take a paycut to stay with TB, do you think he is going to sign for league minimum? Only way this was going to happen was if Rice wanted to leave TB in the first place, but he hasn't made waves and showed up to camp without any fuss. He will retire or a team with more cap space might pick him up. Would love the Skins to be in the mix, but he probably will be more $ than we are willing/can spend.
