The Facts:
When the Seahawks
struck a deal on Monday for receiver Percy Harvin, receiver Golden Tate sounded a little concerned. But the guy who should be the most concerned could be Rice.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
PFT's Mike Florio went on to make his case by suggesting that with Rice due to earn a base salary of $8.5 million in 2013, the receiver budget may not be able to bear both Harvin and his former Viking teammate (Harvin and Rice were both with in Minnesota from 2009 through 2010). Florio further noted that Rice has had limited effectiveness in Seattle, with only 748 receiving yards in 16 starts last season. The year before, he missed seven games due to injury. Citing a source with knowledge of the contract, Florio reports that Rice has $3.6 million remaining in signing bonus proration and $3.5 million of his base salary is guaranteed for injury only. Thus, cutting him would create nearly $5 million in 2013 cap space. ... It's worth watching.
