Jerry Rice Goes to Seattle

Jerry Rice is going to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Raiders never told Jerry he would have such a diminished role in the offense, and it seems the Raiders couldn't have done any worse throwing to the greatest receiver in NFL history. In fact, they have been blown out the last few games they haven't thrown to him. Jerry scored the one of the only touchdowns and had the most receiving yards in the massacre at the Super Bowl a few years ago, he is still in amazing shape and capable of making receptions so there must have been something else going on in Oakland.

Will Jerry still be collectible? Of course! He is still the most sought after 49er in history, second to only the great Joe Montana, he is a definite Hall of Famer, Super Bowl Champion, and holds records that will NEVER be broken. He helped get the Raiders to a Super Bowl and Raider fans loved him and will continue to love him.

His Seattle memorabilia will sell quick as soon as he gets there, but that will taper off pretty fast. 49er memorabilia will always be the best seller, followed by the Raiders, because Raider fans are very nostalgic and appreciative of players that put everything into the game. So yes, people will still buy Raider memorabilia because Oakland was a solid part of Rice's Hall of Fame career.

Jerry is also going to get a chance now to show people that he is not washed up and he will get a lot more media attention. If he makes a big comeback this year at 42 years old, his memorabilia sales will go through the roof as America loves comeback stories, especially when they are from people who are as likeable as Jerry Rice.
