The Facts:
Rice said he didn't want to play if he wasn't going to be at least the No. 3 receiver for the Denver Broncos. Informed that wasn't going to be the case, the NFL's all-time leading receiver opted to retire rather than ride the bench. Rice, whose 22,895 career receiving yards are more than 8,000 more than his closest pursuer, officially announced his retirement from the NFL during a 1:30 p.m. ET press conference.

Rice survived Denver's cutdown to 53 players Saturday. But his agent, Jim Steiner, said the NFL's all-time leading receiver had been notified by Mike Shanahan that he would not be their No. 3 receiver. "That was a must for him," Steiner told The Associated Press on Sunday.
