Difference is we have 2 young FB's on the roster. We don't have a big WR on the roster. I love MRob, but he isn't a position of need, he's a luxury. I believe he's still better than our other two FB's, but they should be progressing pretty well and MRob has other aspirations.
Rice fills a need we have for a big WR. a non guaranteed contract means we could bring him in with little to no risk. If he works out, then great, if he doesn't, then thanks for the memories.
Also, Rice is set to be cleared to play again in May. This is likely what's keeping his interest to a minimum. He currently can't pass a physical. If he truly can be cleared by May, that will leave plenty of offseason left to get in work with whatever team he lands on.
