So Rice has an appeal with the NFL next week as well as a grievance filed against the Ravens. If he wins both , he’ll get most of his pay for this season, except for the 2 games he was suspended for initially.
This seems to be the best solution. The furor over the incident has died down. Ray and his ‘wife’ get paid. Rice can then sign with another NFL team to show if he’s got anything left in the tank. Buffalo might be a good option, no intense media scrutiny.
