The Facts:
The Seahawks announced Friday that the club has released the veteran receiver. "We are grateful to Jerry and the role he was willing to fill for the Seahawks last year," said head coach Mike Holmgren. "He is one of the greatest players in the history of our game and we wish him nothing but the best." Rice played in 11 games, starting nine, after joining the team via trade with the Oakland Raiders.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to recent reports out of San Francisco, those close to Rice say he would only consider returning for another season in the NFL if it were with the 49ers. If Rice does not play for the 49ers, he will almost assuredly retire as a part of the organization at some point this offseason.
