Sidney Rice: Announces Retirement
Rice (knee) has decided to retire amid injury concerns, NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rice's sudden retirement comes as he's recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 8 of last season. While the Seahawks felt comfortable enough with Rice's health to re-sign him in April, the wideout's lengthy injury history clearly weighed significantly on his decision to retire. Rice endured a myriad of complications, including shoulder, foot, and knee damage, to go with multiple concussions over his seven-year career. The former second-round pick enjoyed his best season in 2009, when he combined with then Vikings quarterback Brett Favre for 83 receptions, 1,312 yards, and eight touchdowns. However, since that breakout campaign, Rice missed 25 games across the subsequent four seasons. Now, Rice enters retirement at 27 years old.

Rice's latest injury was his worst, as a torn ACL ended his season early and caused the Seahawks to walk away from the fragile receiver's contract. He signed a more club-friendly deal to return to Seattle, but with the 'Hawks drafting deep threat Paul Richardson in the second round there may not be room for Rice in the offense even if he does make it all the way back from the injury. The depth chart isn't exactly flush with established options though, so if Rice does prove in camp that he can still contribute expect him to carve out a useful role for himself.
