Out-of-work running back Ray Rice has issued a statement thanking the Baltimore Ravens and apologizing for his actions in a February 2014 elevator incident with his now-wife that struck a serious chord with the nation a year ago.
Rice’s high-profile case was the signature incident of a horrific domestic-violence swell among NFL players last season, and it raised awareness of what appeared to be a growing problem in the league.
For his part, Rice apologized for his actions and thanked the city of Baltimore and the team, which released him last season once the full tape of Rice hitting his wife was made public, for everything it did for him.
With Rice’s felony aggravated assault case now resolved and jail time avoided after he was allowed into a pretrial intervention program, Rice is seeking to re-enter the NFL as a free agent, but to date there has not been any serious action toward that end.
