The Vikings hope to re-sign wide receiver Sidney Rice to a long-term contract, according to coach Leslie Frazier. "He is a high, high priority, and I didn't want him to be sensitive about the fact that it was (linebacker) Chad (Greenway) being franchised instead of Sidney," Frazier said. "That does not mean that we're not going to do right by Sidney, but we couldn't franchise both of them. We want to get Sidney signed and take care of him, because he's going to take care of our football team." Rice blossomed into a Pro Bowl selection during the 2009 season when he caught 83 passes -- eight for touchdowns.
