Jerry Rice spoke with Broncos coach Mike Shanahan on Wednesday about playing for the team this season. Rice's agent, Jim Steiner, confirmed Shanahan and Rice talked Wednesday, and Steiner said he and Shanahan had a preliminary conversation last weekend. "I think there is some interest on both sides," Steiner said. "I think Jerry would love to play for Mike again." In October, shortly before the Broncos played at Oakland, Shanahan said he believed Rice could still play, even though Rice had just turned 42. "Jerry is a guy that might play two, three, four more years," Shanahan said. "If it doesn't work out with the Raiders, I think it will work out for somebody. He still can be productive, and he is still in great shape."
