Jerry Rice

9/5/2005

Rice announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday, two days after the Denver Broncos told him he made the team but was a fourth or fifth option at wide receiver. The 20-year veteran departs with the all-time records for receptions (1,549), receiving yards (22,895), receiving touchdowns (197) and overall touchdowns (208). Induction into the Football Hall of Fame in Akron will be his next big moment in the NFL spotlight.

9/4/2005

The Broncos informed Rice on Saturday that he made the team's 53-man roster for the 2005 season, but the veteran wideout will be no better than the team's fourth or fifth option at wide receiver. Rice reportedly is taking a couple of days to decide whether he wants to remain at the end of the bench or retire. In 20 NFL seasons, Rice has amassed 1,549 catches for 22,895 yards and 197 receiving touchdowns.

The Denver Broncos have moved Rice up on their depth chart, bumping him to No. 3, ahead of struggling second-year wideout Darius Watts. The veteran receiver saw limited action in an exhibition game against the Houston Texans over the weekend after missing some practice time last week with a sore foot. He plans to work out more regularly over the next several days and be ready for Saturday's preseason batting with the San Francisco 49ers.

Rice sat out the afternoon session of Friday's practice, along with the morning session of Saturday's practice with a tight hamstring. Rice returned to the field on Saturday afternoon for a light workout.

5/25/2005

Rice has agreed to a one-year contract with the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout, who will turn 43 in October, began the 2004 campaign with the Oakland Raiders, but saw limited action and was later traded to the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the season with 30 catches for 429 yards and three touchdowns between the two clubs. Rice is the NFL's all-time leader in receptions, total yards, receiving touchdowns and total touchdowns.
