Ravens settle with Rice

Published

on

The Baltimore Ravens confirmed Friday that the team reached a settlement with former running back Ray Rice.

The settlement was agreed upon Thursday before a grievance hearing was to begin.

In a statement issued by the team, Ravens president Dick Cass said, “The Ravens agreed to resolve the grievance with Ray Rice. It’s time to turn the page, and we’re moving forward.

“We will continue to focus on being the best partner we can be with our community, and that includes our work with the House of Ruth and One Love Foundation on the issue of intimate partner abuse.

“We wish Janay and Ray Rice the best.”

Rice, who was suspended and later released by the Ravens after the video became public showing him hitting his now-wife Janay in an elevator, was seeking $3.52 million from the Ravens. That’s what he would have made during the final 15 weeks of the 2014 season.

No settlement figures was disclosed by the Ravens.

In November, Rice won an appeal to overturn an indefinite ban from the NFL. The No. 2 rusher in Ravens history is now a free agent.
