Bern,
I don’t see Rice going anywhere, He was hurt last year and never really had a chance to heal up, Good jumping ability and hands and Good in the Red Zone, When I was talking about cutting a player, I was referring to any of the other teams that would release a Quality WR to get under the cap… I don’t see that happening. Holt would be a good mentor for Rice though, a few holes to fill but Really looking forward to the Draft…

Chuck, I hope Rice gets better this year, and i think he will. Some players take longer to develop than others. We definitely need to stretch the field, not only to help take some of the burden off of Adrian Peterson, but to upgrade the offensive potential. With two good WR’s, you could utilize Kleinsasser more for 10 or 15 yard gains in the middle, rather than the 2 or 3 yard receptions we were used to seeing the last couple of years. We definitely need to shore up the offensive line, so all of these things are possible. Several years ago we had all the offensive weapons in tact when we played Atlanta in the NFC Championship game, yet we got too conservative in that game, and ultimately paid the price in the end. I would’ve tried to sign Tory Holt just to help develop Rice, as Chris Carter complemented Randy Moss several years ago. I think your 100% right Chuck, you just should’nt cut Rice, he does have a lot of talent, but nowadays football is big business and players either produce now, or receive their walking papers.
