Ray Rice reportedly drawing interest from multiple teams
The former Ravens running back has an uphill climb to find work in 2014, but at least four teams have expressed interest in the three-time Pro Bowler.

The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are reportedly among those interested, per Schefter, in addition to two other, yet-to-be-revealed teams. Previous reports indicated the Colts wouldn't be interested in Rice, even if he was reinstated, and Schefter said the team isn't expected to pursue Rice. Meanwhile, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports claims New Orleans has "zero interest" in adding the running back.
Rice, 27, received an indefinite suspension from the NFL in September and was released by the Baltimore Ravens after video was publicized showing him knocking his then-fiancee, now wife, unconscious in an elevator. The suspension was overturned by a neutral arbitrator Friday, who found Rice's cooperation and truthfulness with the league made the extension of his suspension from two games to an indefinite one unjust and without cause.
Ray Rice Reinstatement
The former Ravens running back is now immediately eligible to play and would likely join a contender with injuries at the running back position if he is able to find work at all in 2014. New Orleans is one team that could fit the mold, as all four of the team's running backs appear on the injury report for Week 13 and the Saints are tied with the Atlanta Falcons for first in the NFC South.
Rice tallied more than 1,000 yards rushing in four consecutive seasons before the worst season of his career in 2013, in which he managed just 3.1 yards per carry.
