H2o Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Ray Rice - RB - Free Agent FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo reports the Bills have begun "internal discussions on whether to explore" signing free agent RB Ray Rice. Related: Bills Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter http://www.rotoworld.com/playernews/nfl/football-player-news/?rw=1 He was looking washed up in Baltimore before his troubles. Maybe the time away has helped his body recoup or he may just be washed up in general. Edited August 19, 2015 by H2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If there's ever a time to sign a Ray Rice it's now. Most people will understand seeing how we lost five running backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I absolutely hate the guy....but we are pretty depleted at the RB position right now. Get him in then get him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting a woman is inexcusable, but he did marry the girl. People make mistakes. I highly doubt he'll repeat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 He was looking washed up in Baltimore before his troubles. Maybe the time away has helped his body recoup or he may just be washed up in general. i dont like what he did one bit.... but he was allegedly pretty badly injured that season, as well as trying to bulk up a little. it would make sense that if he was both heavier, AND had a hip injury that challenged his ability to get around on off days, that he would have lost some explosion. would he be able to come back from that? big question mark, but i think its a legit question, and not an absolutely not like many posters portray.

Maybe the time away has helped his body recoup or he may just be washed up in general. He was injured in Baltimore. He doesn't have a history of beating women. He made a huge, critical mistake!! People makes mistakes. People reform. His wife forgave him, why can't the "moral police"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hitting a woman is inexcusable, but he did marry the girl. People make mistakes. I highly doubt he'll repeat it. In an attempt to not hijack the thread I'll say my peace and won't address it again. Marriage or not, he allowed his fiancé/wife/girlfriend to attend a press conference and publicly apologize for her role in the incident. That's not the act of a man who feels remorse or understands the severity of what he did. A man who understands his actions in that situtiation, never allows for the woman to apologize for getting knocked out. Let alone has her do it sitting right next to him at a nationally televised press conference. Probably has, and probably continues to abuse her both physically and emotionally. If it weren't for her apology, I may be on your bandwagon of reform. I believe in second chances as much as anybody, but that whole circus was a disaster.

Good point, but drastic times calls for drastic measures. Was it another bad decision by Rice to allow her to do that? Sure, but how are we helping his wife by not giving Ray a second chance?

seq004 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hitting a woman is inexcusable, but he did marry the girl. People make mistakes. I highly doubt he'll repeat it. Agree 100%. When I look at what Greg Hardy, Vick I just think the reason Rice is being blown up is simply because it was ON VIDEO. HE made a poor choice like a lot of other players. He has moved on along with his wife. He has been out almost a year. If Hardy gets a second chance or James Harrison even why does Rice not get a second chance? Video.

If Hardy gets a second chance or James Harrison even why does Rice not get a second chance? Video. I think the video sealed his fate. Some of these domestic cases center on accusations of pushing or shoving but he flat out threw a heavyweight class haymaker at a woman. It wasn't an open handed slap or a push (neither of which are acceptable), he went for big air and landed it. Does he deserve a shot, sure. There are a lot of degenerates in this league who've done the same or worse. Do I want it to be here? Don't care, long since stopped rooting for individuals, now I root for the logo. Too few likable players in the NFL to try to like any of them. They're simply a commodity. In fact, I would love it if they worse jerseys with no names or numbers.

Wayne Cubed Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This seems like click bait, anytime a RB has been injured this preseason that team is "having talks about Ray Rice". Happened with the Texans and the Browns and yet still no team has brought him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
