The Dallas Cowboys have not ruled out the possibility of signing a veteran running back during the preseason, but they apparently have no interest in a three-time Pro Bowler with a history of domestic violence.
According to Charean Williams of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys will not be bringing in former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. Plenty have speculated that Dallas could take a flier on Rice depending how Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar look, but it seems highly unlikely.
The Cowboys already signed one player this offseason who has been accused of domestic violence in Greg Hardy, and having two on the same roster might not be a great look.
Rice’s age isn’t helping his cause at this point, as he turned 28 in January. His best days are likely behind him even without the video of him punching his wife hanging over his head. Despite the NFL Players Association’s insistence that teams are blackballing Rice, the truth is he simply isn’t worth the bad publicity now that his skills are likely in decline.
