Tate and Rice will not be cut. End of Story.

Lawrence Jackson was a DE, ya douche.

Maybe you meant Darrel Jackson, who was decent on the other end of Matt Hasselbeck’s timing throws but couldn’t keep both feet inbounds to save his life. Finished his career in SF, where receivers truly go to die.

Dude, your a tool.

Teams have bad luck with free agents all the time. Kolb, cassell, mcnabb, hell the entire dream team.

We just.have been unlucky with wrs. But i.honestly feel like with percy here in seattle our offense will be over.the hill.

Honestly, a 1st pick 25, a 7th LOL, and a 3rd that will be at the bottem of the round, for a top 5 talent?

Who else is worth it in the first rd of this urs draft at 25? Tavon austin? A wanna be harvin? Doubt it. Seahawks need olinr an dline. Both of which are two very deep positions in this draft without a huge dropoff after the first 10 picks.

Seahawks got a steal, 6 yrs 66M. Wallace raped the dolphins for 5 years 60 mil.

Rice, harvin and tate in a 3 wide offense with lynch and wilson in the back field.

SEATTLE WHERE WIDE RECEIVERS GO TO DIE! Percy Harvin will be a bust in Seattle just like every other high profile move Seattle has made for a wide receiver. In the last 12 year they have drafted 2 WRs in the first round. In 2001 Koren Robinson was a mess and in 2008 Lawrence Jackson was a bust. All of the receivers signed for big money as free agents have been busts. Highlighted by the 2006 Nate Burleson signing, the 2009 TJ Houshmandzadeh signing, and the 2011 Sidney Rice signing. The other big trade Seattle made was in 2006 when they traded a first round pick for Deion Branch. And now they trade three picks, including a first for Percy Harvin and then pay him BIG BUCKS! His bipolar personality or his love of the bong will create a happy environment in the suicide capital. Also, the trade will make the only good WR Seattle has added this century, Golden Tate, a very unhappy camper and will lead to the demise of the team. Good Luck Seattle fans, you deserve better. At least Percy can’t get arrested in the state of WA for his favorite past times, smoking weed, being a mental and screaming “show me the money.”

Golden Tate is going no where either. He’s the best run blocking wide receiver on that run first team.

Worst post of the day. There is no way the Seahawks cut Sidney Rice.

You other teams get your grimy minds off acquiring our receiver. Your team is going to have to find a way to account for all our weapons so you guys better start thinking defense. Go post your silly hopes and dreams on a Darrelle Revis thread.

More posts from writers/fans who don’t know much about this team. Rice is a true outside WR 6’4- runs excellent routes catches everything. Seattle ran the ball more than any team in NFL 55 % of the time. Sidney Rice wasn’t even targeted half as much as other guys but still got 70 % of the balls thrown his way and put up 8 TD’s. If anything maybe a restructuring will come along in a year or so but who Harvin hurts is Doug Baldwin who is a good slot receiver just slow start to 2nd year and will be needing contract. Rice had surgery on both his shoulder and took countless big hits on big plays & got up and did his spin the ball. Even after the nasty hit when he won Bears game he was after the game and didn’t miss a beat or a game. He looks healthy to me and Seattle fans are happy to have his talents.

Rice had one great season in his career and that was when Brett Favre played lights out in 2009.

Whether he’s released this year or not, this is one of the reasons huge FA signings rarely work. And, if they do it’s a very short window the team has to be successful until a complete rebuild has to go into place due to salary restraints. Another mistake is to think that past success guarantees future success. Sure, on paper, this looks great for Seattle. But how many times have we seen teams like this never live up to the hype – Bears last year, Philly, Dallas most years, 2010 Vikings and the list goes on.

Doug baldwin is the one who has to sweat this, not because of salary, but touches. Tate and rice arent going anywhere. Doug is an excellent slot player also.

They only passed for 3,031 yards as a team, a lot of that in the second half of the season when Russell started to hit his stride. That’s a quarter of all their passing yards. Seems about right to me. He also beat New England with an awesome double move and leaping catch with like a minute left…don’t see any reason they’d cut him…maybe ask him for a pay cut, but it’d be dumb to just dump him unless they’re desperate for the cap space.

just a complete speculation article. so, the hawks signed harvin to making their receiving squad a strength in the hopes of making a SB run, and will then immediately undercut the position, even though they are still under the cap.

Free agency must not be what pft needs it to be, for this to be a story. This is a speculative story. At worst, rice will restructure.

********
WR Wallace just signed for 5 years –> 65 million.
Thats 13 million a year ($13,000,000.00). WR Harvin feels he is more valuable than Wallace. Seattle now has a major headache and cancer. Wallace is under contract, but he already said he will not be in unless he gets a major raise ($13.5 million???).
Sleepless in Seattle………

Never going to happen…this coming from the same guy who said they would cut Matt Flynn…again, never going to happen.

Seahawks are queuing up for a Super Bowl run. Sydney Rice is – the leader of the WR group. No way you bring in Harvin, a talented knucklehead…pair him with Golden Tate, another knucklehead, and Doug Balwin (young)…and think you’re good.

Rice stays…he’ll be the leader…AND he will probably hav ea breakout year now that he has a #1 across from him – who will take some of the coverage with him.

As Vikings fans continue to laugh at Seattle all the way to the bank for overpaying for Rice.

Seattle needs Rice to play when Harvin is injured. And vice-versa. They can only hope they’re both not out at the same time.

All you need to know about the Seahawk-Vikings connection is that the Vikings have always bested the Seahawks when it comes to swapping players. Vikes pulled the poison-pill on All-Pro Guard Hutchinson, Seahawks signed WR Burleson to big contract and then cut him. Vikings refused to pay big contract to always injured Sid Rice but Seattle did and Rice continues to always be hurt. Pete Carroll crowned TJoke starting QB because Vikes didn’t know how to “coach him up” only to cut him 2 years later, now when no one else would give more than a 2nd rd. pick for Harvin, Seattle gives a 1st, 7th and 3rd rd draft pick for a dynamic player when he’s on the field but a mecurial constant headache off the field and in the locker room from as far back as his Pop Warner playing days, throughout college and while with the Vikes. Mentally Harvin will be ok for this year with his new contract but come his 2nd year, look out Hawk fans. Pete Carroll thought he could make a QB out of Tavaris Jackson and now he thinks he knows how to handle Percy’s “issues” when no one else has been able to do so. Percy will be percy….in due time.

When on the field, Rice was our most reliable set of hands. Tate is not good enough yet to be an every down WR.

It’s also worth noting that if we cut Rice, our top three WRs are Harvin at 5’11″ and both Baldwin and Tate at 5’10″. Yikes.

I have two words for those who say cut Golden Tate instead – Sean Lee

In related news, Vikes have a need for an outside WR and Rice just might, maybe, sort of be an upgrade over any WR that Kevin Williams can’t name.

You guys all realize Rice is going to be a Seahawk this year, right? This whole thread makes no sense, but it’s neat you all want him on your team.

I could see them trading him for picks if someone wants him. I think it is more likely they just restructure his deal.

This is dumb. Yeah Rice had less than 800 yards but let’s consider the offensive scheme here. He isn’t going anywhere. Nice try though.

It wasn’t Sidney’s fault that TJack was the QB his first year and Coach Pete admitted he ‘held back’ the Seahawks offense for the first half of this past year.

While the stats don’t look that good, no passes dropped, game winners caught, great teammate… no reason to release him this year.

Tate will go first.

Even with Rices contract, I’d dump Tate.
————-
No way, Tate really came on as a playmaker after the catch last year, much more dynamic player. That said I think you need both since Tate and Harvin kinda cancel each other out and Rice is the bigger body receiver.
