Ray Rice’s contract was terminated by the Baltimore Ravens this afternoon, the team announced on Twitter. The move comes 10 hours after TMZ released video showing Ray Rice punching fiancee Janay Palmer in the face.
Rice was set to come back Monday, September 15th following his two-game suspension. Alas, he’s a free agent now and probably will be for quite some time.
