InsideBayArea.com / The Argus - Final details of a one-day contract are being worked out that will allow legendary receiver Jerry Rice to retire as a 49er.

A team spokesman said the 49ers are working out the details with the NFL. The 49ers also are trying to find a date within the next two weeks when Rice and other principles such as owner John York would be available to make a formal announcement.

Rice had been scheduled to do his Sirius Satellite Radio program live from the 49ers' headquarters on Tuesday. But a 49ers spokesman said the live appearance now will take place on the day that the formal announcement is made.
