Blackout Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has won his appeal of an indefinite suspension and has been reinstated to the NFL, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Rice is now eligible to sign with any NFL team. [+] Enlarge Ronald Martinez/Getty ImagesRunning back Ray Rice is eligible to sign with any NFL team after winning an appeal of his indefinite suspension. Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after a video of him hitting his then-fiancée was released publicly. Goodell originally had suspended the running back for two games. Rice's appeal of his indefinite suspension was heard by U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones earlier this month. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome testified under oath Nov. 6 in the appeal hearing that he heard the former Baltimore running back tell Goodell during his June 16 disciplinary hearing that he had hit his then-fiancée in a casino hotel elevator, sources told "Outside the Lines." Rice also testified, as did his wife, Janay. Details of what Rice and his wife testified to Nov. 6 and what Goodell said Nov. 5 were not released to ESPN's "Outside the Lines" because of a gag order that Jones imposed. But sources said Newsome backed Rice's previous accounts of what he told Goodell. Goodell spent the majority of his time testifying under cross-examination by outside union attorney Jeffrey Kessler, sources said. Rice, 27, is a three-time Pro Bowler and helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII. He rushed for 6,180 yards and 37 touchdowns in six seasons with Baltimore. ESPN.com's Don Van Natta Jr. contributed to this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Who's going to be the team that signs him? It may not be until next offseason, but it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Who's going to be the team that signs him? It may not be until next offseason, but it will happen. Can't rule out the Jets, Idzik has shown character is not a priority by bringing in Vick and retaining Goodson for a year after his drugs/guns bust.

slats Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Rice averaged 3.1 ypc last year. Tough to justify the public relations disaster for that level of production. I'm thinking that's gonna be his biggest hurdle to get back into the league. That said, I wouldn't be completely shocked if a team like Indy kicked the tires in preparation for a post-season run.

AFJF Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 he played with hurt hip all last year. unknown whether 2013 is indicative of what he has left A year off might be the best thing for him. I think I recall Marcus Allen saying that being benched by Al Davis added years to his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
