NoSaint Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Anyone else think that even if they bring him in he probably gets cut? odds would be yes, unless he shows real flashes of his former ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 @john_wawrow Oh, and you folks can stop all the speculation. Ray Rice is not in the #Bills plans. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 @john_wawrow Oh, and you folks can stop all the speculation. Ray Rice is not in the #Bills plans. Period. Like I said, click bait. Team has injury at RB, "Ray Rice being talked about inside Team _____". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan 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. At least not in front of a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Hitting a woman is inexcusable, but he did marry the girl. People make mistakes. I highly doubt he'll repeat it. Right. He probably won't ever marry her again. Edited August 19, 2015 by Nanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 odds would be yes, unless he shows real flashes of his former ability.That is kind of my thought. I'm not sure that it is worth the headache if he isn't going to help the team anyways. Maybe his injuries were bad in his last year but he was really not a good player.

seq004 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 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. Yes he punched her smack in the face. Have you read what Hardy did? Have you ever read the details of Vick's crime? I think Rice should be given a second chance not a third. Hardy's crime sounds much worse. I don't think Vick should ever have been allowed back in the league and meanwhile Patrick Roy is the head coach of Colorado.

bigK14094 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The Bills can find better rb candidates than Ray rice......and, they don't need the bad PR either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 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. Agreed, but, giving him a tryout down 5 RBs can't hurt. I don't think he will be back to pro bowl form. I like the idea of the tryout, but, don't think he will make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 What's so SAD about thIs situation is that not only Ray Rice, but his family is suffering from a "one time incident"! Rice is not allowed to provide for his family because people has a preconceived opinion that he is a "bad" guy and that he's not worthy to be a part of "my" team. The other sad part is that teams won't allow him the "opportunity" to try to make a roster spot because all they see is "dollars and cents".

I like the idea of the tryout, but, don't think he will make the team. If he's not going to be good enough to make the team why even bother with the tryout? As someone else said there are potentially better options that don't have his baggage -- like pretty much any RB who is unsigned and actually played RB in the last year.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think a Rice signing would be one step over that line. It's noble we are handing out second chances but what Ray Rice did is pretty bad, and like someone said, he hasn't showed the required remorse. The Bills don't need that distraction. Sign some fodder RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be worth the time to read up on the make up of men who beat up women. I spent the first half of my life surrounded by them, and it is rarely, if ever, a 'one time incident.' Also, Ray Rice is absolutely allowed to provide for his family. He just can't do it playing football. There is only one person to blame for that, and it sure the hell ain't a preconceived notion.

If you want to cry for Ray Rice be my guest, but being able to play a child's game for a living should be a privilege. Nobody "deserves" a second chance though some players may be more likely to find a team willing it to give it them than others. Ray Rice can provide for his family by getting another job just like everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him beating out a much younger Williams so it's not like he'll stick. He's got to blow everyone's doors off in practice. I'm not seeing that happening.He would of been in an NFL camp by now. Negative PR is not worth the return with this fine upstanding citizen.
