Ray Rice a Possibility?

[barrett]

This is a truly dumb post Bob (and I promise I am talking about this specific post and not trying to insult you).

He was terrible the last time he played in the NFL....TWO YEARS AGO!

We are not talking about a position with a scarcity of talent like edge rusher. Aldon Smith will get another chance because not many guys can go get the QB. But tons of guys can do what Rice used to be able to do. There are veteran guys without his baggage available, plus tons of young guys.

Rice averaged 3.1 ypc in 2013. He was already losing his job to Bernard Pierce in 2014 before the assault. Then Pierce lost his job to our former 3rd stringer Forsett. Pierce was later dumped by Buffalo and will fight for a roster spot in Jacksonville. That is the life of a RB. There is always a crowd of guys waiting to step in and replace you.

Rice's career would probably be about over without the baggage. There is no way we should go near him in football terms, even ignoring his off field issues.
