tsunami001 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Seems Rice is unhappy with being on the Bucs, what is the possibility we could manage some sort of trade for him? I think we would be a much better defense in general (including creating turnovers) if we had a stud pass rushing DE like him. This guy is dominant and would be able to put a lot of pressure on the QB singlehandedly. I'm worried about having our corners constantly in single coverage, especially when it comes to playing against the top offenses. My feeling is that many adjustments that will be made by offenses playing against us next year and we will not be able to keep our guys on islands as often. I'm not too knowledgable about trade possibilities and scenarios so I wanted to know what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappaluvacee Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 O doubt it. I don't think we have anyone they are interested in. Simeon is getting up there in age too. If he were a cut casualty I would consider it, but not trading a good young player for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baculus Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Well, keep in mind he is 30, though he still seems to have a good motor. He is signed for a few more years and his salary does go up by quite a bit next year, so who knows.
