NFL Legend Jerry Rice Finds a New Home in Seattle

After more than 19 NFL seasons, Jerry Rice is leaving the Bay Area.

The disgruntled wide receiver was traded Monday night to the Seattle Seahawks, the Raiders announced in an e-mail. The deal won't be completed until the league approves it and Rice passes a physical.

The Raiders didn't say what compensation they will receive for the NFL's all-time leading receiver, but several media outlets, using anonymous sources, reported that Seattle would give up a conditional seventh-round draft pick. The Raiders are planning to hold a news conference today.
