Report: Free Agent WR Sidney Rice Visiting Jets Wednesday

 

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that free agent WRย Sidney Rice is visiting with the Jets on Wednesday.

  • Albert Breer reports thatย Jets are giving Rice a physical.

Dr. Andrews recentlyย clearedย Riceย to participate inย football activities, so it’s not surprising to see him line up a visit this week.

Pro Football Talk mentioned that theย Seahawks, Giants, Saints, andย Panthersย reportedly haveย “some degree” of interestย in Rice. However, the Giants and Panthers are expected to beย “long shots” to sign him.

The Jets have already added Eric Decker and Jacoby Ford this offseason, but they could use a receiver likeย Rice given that he offers size and deep-threat ability.

Rice, 27, was limited to appearing in just eight games and caught 15 receptions forย 231 yards receiving and three touchdowns in 2013.ย He’s missed a total of 25 games over the last four years.

We haveย himย listed as the No. 5 best available player in ourย Top 50 Free Agents list.
