Look up the word “radioactive” in the dictionary and there should be a picture of Rice, who has become one of the most hated men in sports after video leaked of him knocking his wife Janay Rice out cold with a punch in an Atlantic City elevator.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has gone on record stating that Rice will likely never play again in the NFL (via cbssports.com):
"“Well, I don’t think he will play another NFL game,” Kraft said. “I would be shocked if some team would pick him up.”"
When asked if the Pats might consider Rice, Kraft was even more blunt:
"Said Kraft: “No.”"
It doesn’t get any more definitive than that.
If Ray Rice does have a future of any kind in the NFL, it would only be after he disappears for a long time and goes through some very serious steps to show that he has tried to turn his life around.
Unfortunately for Rice, though he can try to erase the stain from his name, he can never erase that video of him punching his wife in the face from the internet.
The internet will forever carry those images of him hitting his wife in the face and her head cracking against the elevator railing, and then him dragging her unconscious body into the hallway.
Nothing else Ray Rice has done in his life matters now. That video is his total legacy.
