NFL Notes: Ray Rice, Cowboys, & Eagles

Ray Rice

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk writes that even eight months after Ray Rice had his indefinite suspension overturned, the former Ravensโ€™ running back hasnโ€™t found any interest at all from an NFL team.

According to Florio, there are some around the league who believe if Rice was named Adrian Peterson, he would get a second chance in the league.

Florio wonders if the league office has โ€œput out the word to shy away from Rice, given the controversy his conduct sparked โ€” and the consequences it nearly caused.โ€

Cowboys

Cowboys QB Tony Romo mentioned that he expects an agreement to eventually get worked out between the team and WR Dez Bryant.

โ€œThe NFL is a business, it really is, โ€ Romo said, via Mike Ramczyk of MyRacineCounty.comโ€œYouโ€™ll see that side sometimes, with DeMarco [Murray] leaving and Dez not being part of the offseason.

โ€œI think it will work out with Dez.โ€

Eagles

Mark Eckel of NJ.com spoke to โ€œone of the leagueโ€™s top executives in personnelโ€ who is skeptical of the Eaglesโ€™ decision to trade Nick Foles and picks for QB Sam Bradford.

โ€œI understand they gave up on Foles,โ€ the executive said. โ€œBut I donโ€™t know why theyโ€™re building up Bradford so much. Iโ€™m still confused about that whole deal. You can only talk about him being the first pick of the draft for so long. What has he done since then?

โ€œIf Bradford had gone anywhere else you wouldnโ€™t even be talking about him. Heโ€™s been hurt the past two years and even when he was healthy, he was just average. But heโ€™s with Chip Kelly, so thereโ€™s hope I guess. Chip Kelly is the one guy who can make Bradford a success.โ€
