supremebve Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The NFLPA believes there's a conspiracy to blackball Ray Rice as a favor to Goodell. So to recap: Running backs are a dime a dozen Rice's last season was his worst ever Any team that hires him would face a public backlash This all adds up pretty obviously to no individual team wanted to give him a shot. But, sure, let's go with a conspiracy theory. Playing devil's advocate, all those other dudes who get caught up with this bullshit get picked up all the time. Ray Rice is on the downside of his career, but would still be a pretty decent running back, especially if he's splitting carries. Ray McDonald is going to get signed again, Greg Hardy has already been signed, and the next person who gets in trouble for domestic violence will probably be signed too. To Ray Rice's detriment he seems to be the face of domestic violence. Everyone who cares watched that video, and they haven't forgot it. I don't know if he's blackballed, but I can understand why he would be blackballed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 His best shot at being picked up will be toward the end of training camp, when the injuries hit. Or when the Cowboys figure out they can't get Peterson and they get desperate. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt that now the go to strategy, after the guy from the Bears did it a few years ago? I think Briggs ran his car into a light pole or something. In this case, the "deer" apparently looks suspiciously like a 2009 Nissan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't know about that. He was reduced to a situational role with Buffalo last year, and it took awhile for the Pats to sign him. On a opening day roster? Sure, I can see that, but probably not starting. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's free to express his opinion, and I'm free to say that I think his opinion is dumb. It's bad form for anyone to do this. . .and it's probably worse when you're likely the #5 CB on the depth chart right now.
