Dallas Cowboys Rumor: Would Signing Ray Rice Be The Right Move For Big D?

[Craig]

The negative PR from signing both Hardy and Rice would be too much.

I'd be more concerned that his value in the NFL has been gone for a few years now.

Rice 2013
214 14.3 660 3.1
the total team rushes were 423 for 3.1 avg so as a team and the other 200 rushes had same 3.1 avg
Ravens were 8-8 and flacco threw 38 times a game and season rating was 73.1
So they were just a bad team that year
In 6 years he only had 9 fumbles 1.5 per year he also was a good receiver about 67 per year.

if he was in shape, he could probably do good with our line.

But doubt jerry would bring him in here.

Then in 2014 they signed a journeyman who went to the pro-bowl.

People are sleeping on Randle big time

Level headed response with stats included. MUCH appreciated.

Currently, the Cowboys have Darren McFadden as their so-called key running back.

Not really. Is anyone using "key running back" to describe him?

The Dallas Cowboys may think they have their entire team together and that everything is in place, but a lot of NFL experts think they are just telling themselves that. Others believe that the most pressing need is at running back and that there are a number of options out there for them to sign. Is free agent Ray Rice the key to all of their problems?

Currently, the Cowboys have Darren McFadden as their so-called key running back. He may appear to be the starter as he has the most name recognition, but his sustainability is really something to call into question.

Andy Benoit at Sports Illustrated believes that the answer to replacing DeMarco Murray is Joseph Randle. He believes that Randle could easily have a 1,500-plus yard season but knows that McFadden stands in his way.

“It could be McFadden who winds up prospering the most in 2015. He’s not creative because he can’t be—that fused body won’t allow it. He’s a pure, explosive north/south runner. Randle, on the other hand, has light feet and hips that swivel. If he starts
tasting some of the meat’ —as Murray put it, in his polite response to his former backup’s comment — Randle too might get hasty and clever.”

The Cowboys do have Lance Dunbar and Ryan Williams on the roster as well, but one of them likely won’t be with the team by September. At this point, one has to wonder if the answer is already in a helmet with a star or could a former Baltimore Raven fix everything?

According to Rant Sports, the Cowboys have limited cap space and the free agent options are limited as well. The latter isn’t necessarily true as there is a lot of talent out there, but not many that could be an every-down back — except Ray Rice.

Everyone knows that Jerry Jones isn’t against signing players with a bad past and some baggage, but the backlash from fans could be bad. Still, Ray Rice is a big talent and he’s young and he can still produce for a few more years.

Essentially, Rice is a low-risk option that could bring forth some huge rewards for the Cowboys if he works out. They are likely going to be able to sign him at a bargain price since he wants to play, but no one is jumping at offering him a deal.

In hopes of getting his career back on track, Ray Rice would likely be a model player and man with any team. The Dallas Cowboys have the money needed to sign him, and they may not yet be able to rely on their current running backs for a whole season. Is a very troubled player the answer to their offensive backfield woes, or would he be a bigger problem?

No.
Ok...I'm on the record.

 

[jobberone]

Not really. Is anyone using "key running back" to describe him?

Yeah. Plenty do. IF he can stay healthy and IF he can actually run the ball well enough to be a Key RB. Then yeah.

Lol. I caught that too. Gotta love writers with time on their hands.

 

[Bleu Star]

Yeah. Plenty do. IF he can stay healthy and IF he can actually run the ball well enough to be a Key RB. Then yeah.

So should we just give him a nickname of If? Sorta like Pittsburgh gave Slash?

Darren "If" McFadden

 

[Bleu Star]

No.

Yes maam. You're like EF Hutton. When you talk, I listen.

 

[5Stars]

Yes maam. You're like EF Hutton. When you talk, I listen.

How can you listen above all the crying you do over a RB?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Lol. I caught that too. Gotta love writers with time on their hands.

When I looked all over and couldn't find who wrote this article red flags started coming out. I'm guessing someone spent a whole 5 minutes "researching" for this POS.

 

[AsthmaField]

This is ridiculous and the website linked in the OP is ridiculous as well.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I'd rather see the Cowboys bring in Chris Johnson.

 

[CF74]

Chris Johnson, somebody else, last resort of desperation Rice..

There's got to be somebody that only scouts know about stashed on somebody's practice squad that can share the load with Randle and the rest of the broken parts we end up with..

 

[Martice]

I am all for giving guys second chances to make amends, especially those that we don't know the whole story or what really happened......like Hardy. But, we did see what Rice did and I want no part in that. If that was AP.....I would say the same thing.

I can not and will not support this piece of %^$#. He can go flip burgers for all I care but I want no part of him being a Cowboy. I hope his career is done and that he is dead broke in a few years..............

I wouldn't wish this on anyone actually. The fact he hit his wife is horrible no doubt. However, wishing Ray will be dead broke still puts his wife and kids in harms way and could possibly doom them to a horrible life. I just hope your wish doesn't come true. Especially for the wife and kids sake.

Yes. HW is the key.

Yep.

And I hope we aren't turning this into another OT bash thread.

If you want that then start a thread in the Rant Zone please.

This "inquisitr.com" pops up in my Google Now on my phone with stories like this lately. I've never heard of this site other than that. This isn't the first time they mentioned this Ray Rice "rumor" either. Seems like they're grabbing at straws.
