I'm not seeing the risk here. He's likely a vet minimum player with a huge upside.

Exactly. He'll only take away reps from a younger guy if in fact he looks better then the younger guy. If he doesn't produce, he gets cut. No money loss. No cap hit. I'm pretty sure his contract wouldn't include guaranteed money.

The risk is that he beats out a good younger guy in camp that ends up somewhere else and then he gets injured. I'd rather take a slightly lesser player if he is younger and with a better injury history.

I agree.

Rice is arguably a top 10 WR in the league when healthy. The problem is, a healthy Sidney Rice is pretty much an oxymoron. I think it's worth the risk though. He won't cost that much, and like others have said, if he doesn't pan out just cut him. It's no biggie.

Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to signing Rice and then STILL drafting a WR in the first.
