TO actually sounds like he is serious and wants to play again. Just recently ran a 4.44 40 which is fastest 40 he's ever run. 2 minutes ago, Jeetz1231 said: Could teach the young guys about preparation and what it takes to be an all time great. and honestly he would probably compete for our #1.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Good for jerry- your only as old as you feel. Knowing how good he was and hearing what a workout freak he was (apparently still is) it’s not unfathomable he can still look competitive out there in training camp....

Punching Bag Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Only way a team should sign them is if they are on roster starting week 2 so if they have issues once bullets are real then they can be cut. I have no doubt that a high end older, high end WR could make a roster but seasons including training camp and preseason is long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderGun Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 IF he could still get separation (big if), why not? Vet minimum, sell tickets, pretty good at catching the ball... Would at least make for a fun side story at training camp. Obviously won't happen, but with the way these rules continue to be implemented for player safety + the current state of the receiving corp, I would definitely give Rice or T.O a shot. They probably feel that they have kept themselves in amazing shape, and the game is so soft now, wtf not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) I consider Jerry RIce the greatest NFL player of all time. Like Wayne Gretzky, the most important record for the position (career receiving yards) is untouchable. However, he was 36 years old when Josh Allen was born. He's not coming back people.

Come back and do it. If TO wasn't such a negative locker room personality, I'd love to see if he could do it somewhere. Not sure if its possible at this stage of his life, but if he really ran a 4.4 he might be able to play somewhere. Maybe try CFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 You can feel the breeze generated by neurologists nationwide shaking their head left to right in unison. Sure he can run fast - but for every 15 years after the age of 24, cognitive speed drops by 15%. Memory, reasoning, information processing speed and accuracy at his age is a shadow of what it was when he was playing in the 80s, probably even since he last played in 2004. Add those deficiences on top of getting your bell rung from a good hit and it's likely he'd be back in the huddle not knowing why he's there.
