It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Ray Edwards, has 8 sacks in each of the last two years playing on a line with Jared Allen Kevin Williams and Pat Williams and he has never played OLB so like Rob0729 said im not sure if he fits the pats system + he's going to want DE money not OLB money
Rice has good size but other then he's Career year when brett favre made him a pro bowler he has a total of 817 yeards in 30 games so he may not be worth the 6 or 7 million he will want
Percy harvin has migraines, not Rice.
Rice has been a beast when he is healthy. Problem is he missed almost 2 years worth of games since 07.
Since Rice only has 4 yrs of service, he very well may be a RFA, not a UFA.
According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Vikings may apply any player under 6 yrs a RFA tender, and some think it will uphold.

I like Rice, but I question his blocking and ability to plant and aggressively change directions. The Pats need a guy who can not only go deep and work the body positioning, but also run the dig to threaten the bracket. I may be nitpicking, but there are holes in his game that don't validate the price tag. Further, the more I think about it the more I like Price to play the x or split end, even though I thought he was drafted to be the z.
Edwards is a 43 end.
I don't feel like looking it up, but I know that the way that the NFL chose to word the rules regarding the # of years needed to reach UFA status is very f***ed up. I honestly can't remember if it's written in a way that supports that interpretation or not. [IIRC, the main part says four years, another part says five years, and a third part says six years.]
