Would love to get him. He can stretch the field and has great hands and really fights for the ball!

We either get a starting wr in the draft or in FA and he is gonna be a huge upgrade over what we have. He would become our #1 putting Crabs into the #2 spot.

He will get paid from someone, just not us.

I remember the whole hoopla of drafting him because of the name. I had a huge mancrush on Hill and thought he would be a much better pro, and was ecstatic we got him. Guess I was wrong.

Jeremy Fowler of the St. Paul Pioneer Press gives the Vikings just a 40 percent chance of retaining free agent Sidney Rice.
It's no secret that Rice is going to the team that gives him the most money and guarantees. SI's Peter King has also expressed pessimism that the Vikings would be able to keep Rice, and Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is skeptical as well. "I'm not confident Rice will remain in Minnesota," Zulgad tweeted Friday. "I think someone will give him a big guarantee.

I wish we go out and get him. He killed it when he was healthy.

I'd throw the bank at Rice. -He's fast, he's talented, knows every type of WCO run-route from the back of his head, and is a mean return-threat. -He's like a baby John Taylor.

IF his hip is healed, and he can play without hesitation. We can't know that until he's back on the field. Someone could lose a lot of money on that bet.

He put up amazing numbers with Tavaris Jackson at QB.

I say yes, if the price is right. Too much uncertainty now though.

Lol, what are you talking about? No he didn't.
