Rice was suspended earlier this season after video of an elevator incident showed Rice could clocked his then fiance, Janay Palmer, and left her unconscious on the elevator floor.
Now that he has been reinstated by the NFL, Ray Rice is free to sign with any team.
However, according to the ESPN poll, there is only one state that has fans who would welcome Rice to their favorite team and it is a state without a NFL team: Mississippi.

It will be interesting to see if any of the league’s 32 teams ends up taking a chance on Ray Rice before the end of the season, but so far there has been very little public interest.
