this is very good news, in an off-season slightly skewed with bad media news due to suspensions

I see a restructure also. He knows we are on the verge of a possible multi-superbowl run and if we win 1, 2, 3....money will be made by the players in so many other ways than pure salary. If they're smart about endorsements and the like.Hawks46":2mbq7o8b said:We're always going to have roster spots for those two if they perform. They've both proven on an NFL field that they belong, it's up to the younger guys to take their jobs.
Now, will we always have the cap space ? Not sure. I don't think Tate gets Rice cut because they have different skill sets. Kinda like saying Harvin will get RIce cut....once again, they bring different things to the table. I do see Rice getting restructured next year.

He and Rice both make the tough catches, but there is something about the way that Tate high-points the ball and the way that he bounces off tacklers and has insanely impressive balance that make it imperative, at least to me, that he stay in Seattle.
I love Sidney Rice, though. I hope something can get worked out so Seattle can keep them both.

Rice's salary is just a little over half what Mike Wallace signed for this offseason, so I only view him as having a marginal risk for salary targeting.
Now, if big targets like Harper or Williams look terrific this season, and/or Rice gets hurt and barely plays, then it's a whole new ballgame. But if things stay the way they've been, I don't see Rice being let go.
I'm not saying Rice is super safe, but I do think he has a lot of control over his situation. If he stays healthy and continues to do his thing I'd be stunned if Seattle released him.

So you think we can pay Tate and keep Rice. Interesting....but I strongly disagree.
I couldn't disagree more.Hawknballs":evhd04gh said:Rice and Miller will be restructuring or likely gone after this season.
