Simeon Rice Finally Released (Merged)

[D3N7ER 8r0I\I<05]

I thought it was "Sidney Rice finally released." I was getting excited only to find out it's just crappy old Simeon Rice.

I think Rice is better than any of our present starters now so he would be an upgrade.

But at what cost?

[AZ Snake Fan]

But at what cost?

--- Rice would not be an upgrade at all.

--- Rice would cause dissension in the locker room and on the field.

--- Rice has a big mouth and spouts off to the media.

--- Rice CAN NOT play the run. He can't stop RBs !

--- Rice is a whiner and crier.

--- Rice is not good enough to be a Bronco !

Anyone have news on Rice and his destination?

NFL Network mentioned something about the teams he was visting I just remember what teams he will be seeing.

Right a guy that failed his physical. No I don't think so.

yeah.. but from everything that was said out of NY... they can't figure out what kind of physical they could have given that he would have failed. So I think this is just an excuse they are using (TB) to cut the guy loose. Maybe saves them a roster bonus. But I don't think its really because he's unable to play.

Other than that, from what they were saying on ESPN, over the last 4-5 years, Simeon Rice has been the most dominating DE in the league.. over Strahan anyway for sure. So its not like this guy cant play football.

Would I like him here? Sure, he would be an upgrade. But at what expense? Who would you cut to make room for him? I always like to see an upgrade of talent at any position if its possible and feasible.

Right now, I'm more concerned with OL, WR, and SLB.

Other than your opinion, there isn't one bit of fact here.

The Giants and Lions of course and...

NFL Network mentioned something about the teams he was visting I just remember what teams he will be seeing.

The Rams are the latest to be mentioned....As a pass rush specialist only! The Titans, Redskins (Of course) and Seahawks, too.

That's all he'd be in Denver, imo, a pass rush specialist. But he'd still be nice to have around.

I don't disagree with most of AZ's opinions of Rice, except that he'd be an upgrade to any pass rush as anemic as Denvers has been for years.

Not saying he'd start for Denver, but he may not start wherever he ends up. And he fits in with the Really Old/Really Young mix of players. Imo, Denver keeps 6DE's.....2 rookies....Ekuban....Dumervil....Engelberger?..... Lang?

The question is, does Rice have anything left? Denver passed on him before and regretted it.

Just don't get carried away with a bidding war for him.

I think Kalimba Edwards of the Lions got hurt this weekend. So keep that in mind....

Exactly, who gets pushed down or even off the roster in order to make room for him?

Jav just started a thread in GD about our rookie defensive linemen. The article seem to indicate that Crowder might just push Engelberger from the starter role and Moss more and more is looking like he will be getting alot snaps as a nickle pass rusher.

Simeon Rice

Seems like Rice would be a back-up good option for depth with Jarvis Moss injured.

How much can a hobbled rookie help the pass rush? Rice could be insurance....

[DenBronx]

well looks like rice could be a reality with ekuban out for the season.

imo rice would start right away and would be a huge upgrade on the line.


GET HIM NOW DENVER!!!

[troylightfoot]

get him today. pay him whatever he wants. we are REALLY going to need the help.

He's been more dominant at DE than Strahan over the last 4 years

[Ravage!!!]

Simeon Rice would NOT be a back-up on this team at this point. He would be a 3rd down specialist...but a STARTING 3rd down specialist/pass rusher for this team.
