Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SEATTLE, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- The Seattle Seahawks Friday released wide receiver Jerry Rice.
The 20-year veteran and likely Hall of Famer joined the Seahawks in a mid-season trade with Oakland in 2004. He played 11 games with Seattle, starting nine, and caught 25 passes for 362 yards and three touchdowns for the Seahawks. He caught five passes for 67 yards in six games for the Raiders.
"We are grateful to Jerry and the role he was willing to fill for the Seahawks last year," Seattle Coach Mike Holmgren said. "He is one of the greatest players in the history of our game and we wish him nothing but the best."
The two-time NFL Player of the Year holds just about every NFL record for wide receivers, including 1,549 receptions, 22,895 receiving yards and 197 touchdowns, and also holds the record for total touchdowns with 208.
