124 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 49ers | Rice trying to retire with the team Mon, 17 Jul 2006 06:04:14 -0700 Dennis Georgatos, of the Mercury News, reports WR Jerry Rice wants to return to the San Francisco 49ers for a retirement ceremony, but details of the tribute are still being worked out with 49ers owner John York. If Rice signs a ceremonial one-day contract this year, it will have to be soon. Teams can afford a ceremonial spot on the bigger training-camp rosters, but not on the 53-man squad of the regular season. The 49ers are working on a fitting tribute, team spokesman Aaron Salkin said. "No details have been finalized, but there's no doubt the team wants him to retire as a 49er," Salkin said. "Not only the team but the fans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 This whole "retire as a XXXXX" is just BS. You retire for the last team you actually played for. I can't stand this ceremonial 1 day signing BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I thought he officially retired about the time he became a ballroom dancer. If he does this, will this knock his HOF induction back a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. He's hands down the greatest receiver of all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 That's not what I meant. I believe it does not effect his 5 yr waiting period but I am not sure. I think the 5 yr period is from the time he files the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
